The second book in The Voyage of Jerle Shannara trilogy: Antrax is both a wonderful continuation of The Four Lands I have come to know and a departure from the other books as well. And in that way it is a must-read, but only if you read the Ilse Witch that came before it.

With Ilse Witch, Terry Brooks is starting another trilogy, The Voyage of the Jerle Shannara, and he does it without really missing a beat from everything that came before it. Seriously, both The Sword of Shannara Trilogy and the Heritage of Shannara Tetralogy have an impact on what is going to happen.

The Talismans of Shannara is the final chapter in the four-part Heritage of Shannara series. And accordingly, it concludes the various storylines that have appeared (and were not concluded) in the previous novels: The Scions, The Druid, and The Elf Queen.

Some of the most visually stunning pieces of art are landscapes. And as breathtaking as nature can be all on its own, the talents of some artists apply that beauty and that inspiration towards fictional landscapes. Some that we are faintly aware of and others that we know by heart.

The Elf Queen of Shannara is the third book in a four-book series titled The Heritage of Shannara, that follows the original Sword of Shannara Trilogy taking place in Terry Brooks’ fantasy world The Four Lands.
