![]() Overall, I think most bad reviews come from putting Shannara Chronicles on the wrong shelf, as for simple fantasy which is meant to entertain, it is a very good show. It convinced me to read the books upon which the series is based. The rarity of these three volumes is immense and it is due to their initial printing numbers. The world portrayed in the series is interesting, it's not a typical fantasy setting, but a world that arose on the ruins and ashes of our world, with riuns scattering the landscape and remnants of an old technology here and there. Collecting1977 Hardback of The Sword of ShannaraThe Sword of Shannara, The Elfstones of Shannara and The Wishsong of Shannara are the three hardest hardcovers to find in the history of the fantasy genre. Actors are mostly young so you won't probably see some tremendous acting in Shannara Chronicles, but James Remar stands out greatly among them, his Cephelo is tremendously played character, even if he's a cliche of a rogue. The sub-series in chronological order are: Word & Void. Omnibus editions are listed at the bottom. The characters are also rather typical for the genre, mostly black & white with an interesting shades of grey in the middle (like Eritrea) that stir things a bit. This list shows the chronological order of the entire Shannara series. So I was not at all dissapointed by plotline. Well, I don't expect multi-layer plot in heroic fantasy like Lord of the Rings or many other movies that belong to this genre, this is just not a place for it. ![]() I saw people laughing at the simplicity of a plotline. The plot is simple and pretty much linear: there is a bad guy, there is a need to perform a quest to defeat him and there are twists and obstacles in the way that have to be overcomed to achieve the goal. And it delivers quite exactly what it promises. The Sword of Shannara: The Shannara Trilogy, Book 1 (Audio Download): Scott Brick, Terry Brooks, Hachette Audio UK: .uk: Audible Books & Originals. ![]() ![]() This is a simple, entertaining fantasy series and it should be in my opinion reviewed and rated based on what it tries to be. On the contrary, I've enjoyed this series greatly. Before I started wacthing this, I saw a lot of negative reviews, so I was expecting a poor show, but since I like fantasy genre, I've decided to give it a try and can't say I'm dissapointed. ![]()
