I have read everything Terry has published in the UK and have to say that the best book out of the Shannara series is Elfstones.

The 2 latest trilogies, Voyage of the Jerle Shannara and The High Druid, are much flatter than his early work. I have to say I was disappointed with them, and I love the Shannara storyline.

He had done a pretty good job with the Heritage series, so was a let down afterwards. Still, his "new" Shannara/Word & Void series looks promising from the Chapters I have read. The W&V trilogy was so good and showed us a new side to his talent. I kind of wish he had stuck with those or written another Landover book as he had previously promised. Oh well, its still more Brooks books, so shouldnt grumble!
