Welcome to Brooks's Books, the show where we read all the works of Terry Brooks in publication order. Josh, Dave, and Leah are here to dig into Terry's nearly five decade long career. Most notably, this includes the Shannara series, one of the longest-running and most influential works in fantasy fiction. We'll also be discussing his other work: The Magic Kingdom of Landover series, The Word & Void series, and all the other smaller projects from the last 50 years.
We're welcoming to long-term Shannara fans, lapsed readers, and total newcomers. If you'd like to read along, we'll be announcing our reading schedule as we go. However, you can feel free to just listen to our summaries and discussion if that suits you better.
