The companion to 3US45GEsy Shannara!By gloine36Best selling author Terry Brooks, aided by Teresa QNj36TsuZ Patterson, has brought the world of Shannara to his readers in this updated 6pcwkbn7q guide. With 17 books in the Shannara series in print at the time of this atlass 6312cPGgV publication and six more written since then with two more on the way, Brooks 4hKSvIHDC has a solid fan base which clamored for this book. Heavily illustrated, the atlas BOLBWsE5A serves as a guide for budding fans of the series. Maps detail the vast area he iWREvAJEc has explored through the many characters. Additionally, entries on major jHPkRcGj2 characters, events, and items fill readers in on details that may have been c5N6uyInF overlooked during the reading process. Three major drawbacks exist though. nTc8VszWo One is that this edition is not up to date with the last six books of the series. The AYifv3L0t second is that as a reader who had the Hildebrandt Brothers illustrated edition NI4JurECJ of The Sword of Shannara many years ago, I would have loved to have seen Omcgoq6z3 those pictures in this atlas. Unfortunately, that did not take place. Third, and I NoOD0FNDJ say this for all Shannara fans, this book just is not enough. It could easily be doubled in size. As a reader who eagerly awaits a new Shannara book, no book ever has enough of Brooks writing. I also would have liked to have seen more exploration of the lands that the series takes place in. The opportunity was here for a great expansion of the world for Brooks to work in and it seems that he chose not to do so, leaving Patterson to work with his written books only. Brooks has remarked that he only allowed this book to be created due to pressure from the fans. I think he missed a major opportunity to use the book to reach a new group of fans by limiting the content. That of course is his choice. All in all though, the book does satisfy fans. It is a detail driven work and like most works of high fantasy, it allows for the readers imagination to fill in the gaps. Since Brooks is one of the best high fantasy authors in the genre, his way with words gives readers plenty of material to work with. This book, while answering many questions, leaves a lot to the imagination of the reader which is what any good fantasy author does. Despite the flaws, this book is worth reading for fans. It is especially useful to new fans as they can use the atlas to explore the world of Shannara in conjunction with the books they are reading at the current moment.6 of 6 people found the following review helpful. Much better than the first releaseBy Jaime VenderaI am the biggest Terry Brooks fan, however, the first release of The World of Shannara had some flaws concerning the subject matter of some of Terry's books. I believe that Brooks was only involved minutely to oversee the production of this project.Now that it has been updated to cover the entire world of Shannara, including cthe Word/Void and Genesis series I am much happier. I have a feeling Terry had more input this time around because the facts are a little more concise now.However, things I'd still like to see are character illustrations of all major characters in the Shannara Word/Void series. The fans would love to see how Terry envisions all of the heros villans. The other thing I'd like to see is the entire series to be laid out in a chronological order as opposed to jumping around within the history of the series.2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. I love that there's now a book with all of the ...By Angry BobSo excited for this book!! I have been wanting it for years now!I read this series in high school, and was completely addicted. I love that there's now a book with all of the information, pictures, and histories all in one place. There was so much info that I couldn't even finish it, barely made a dent, after a few hours. It's a good solid book, and will make a beautiful addition to my shelf. It made me want to read the entire series all over again!
