The Elves of Cintra (The Genesis of Shannara, Book 2)
Date undefined
Great follow up book. Now eagerly anticipating book no:3.
I only discovered Terry Brooks as an author this year, but feel a little like when I first read The Lord of The Rings way back in the late 60's. Fortunately he seems to have written a great many more books so lot's of treats in store.
I had to spend the whole day reading it!

Date undefinedFrom start to finish, "The Elves of Cintra" will captivate you, take you on a whirlwind literary ride of immense proportions, and leave you hungry for the final instalment! I couldn't put this book down and had to restrain myself from devouring it in one sitting. I purposefully took my time to read it in order to extend the pleasure I was gaining from it. Mr. Terry Brooks is a true Master Storyteller!
Although Hawk features very little in the novel, as the last one will be focused mostly on him , the revelations regarding him are surprising, to say the least. In fact, they are downright stupendous!
The gripping storyline though is that of Angel's journey to and experience with the Elves. I like Logan Tom's storyline, too, but I couldn't wait to get back to what was happening with Angel, Kirisin, Eirisha and the Ellcrys. Be warned though: the surprises and unexpected twists, once they start coming, will pummel you with relentless force!
I suggest you buy "The Gypsy Morph" long before you come to the end of "The Elves of Cintra", for the minute you have finished the book, you will want to read the next one. Guaranteed!

Date undefinedArmageddeon's Children was my first Terry Brooks novel and I was hooked on this trilogy once it was finished. This book, the 2nd in the trilogy, did not fail to earn my love. It picks up exactly where the 1st book left off. As the title suggests, most of this book is about the elves. Hawk isn't left out but there isn't a lot of his story in here. Angel is much more likable than the first book and Logan Tom is, in my opinion, the best Knight of the Word. It does have alot to say about the Ghosts and their losses were heartfelt. Panather and Sparrow are clearly the warriors of the group. The mystery of the demon in hiding (don't want to say too much) was not openly obovious to me until he was revealed who he's been masqarding as. This is a page turner and I can't wait to read the final book in this trilogy. I enjoyed it and Armageddon's Children so much I need to read the 1st trilogy as well (Running with the Demon, etc.) If you are looking for a great book for all ages, this is it.
