He then wrote The Sword of Shannara, the seven year grand result retaining sanity while studying at Washington & Lee University and practicing law. That moment changed Terry's life forever, because in Tolkien's great work he found all the elements needed to fully explore his writing combined in one genre. He went to college and received his undergraduate degree from Hamilton College, where he majored in English Literature, and he received his graduate degree from the School of Law at Washington & Lee University.Ī writer since high school, he wrote many stories within the genres of science fiction, western, fiction, and non-fiction, until one semester early in his college years he was given The Lord of the Rings to read. So that’s another good place to start, especially since it begins the chronology.Terry Brooks was born in Illinois in 1944, where he spent a great deal of his childhood and early adulthood dreaming up stories in and around Sinnissippi Park, the very same park that would eventually become the setting for his bestselling Word & Void trilogy. That said, the Word/Void trilogy stands alone, and exists much earlier than the main Shannara storyline. After that, it doesn’t matter if you go back to read the prequels, or if you continue with the sequels. These books are The Sword of Shannara, Elfstones of Shannara (which is where the MTV show starts), and Wishsong of Shannara. While not the chronological beginning, you should probably start with the trilogy that began the epic series.
So enjoy this timeline which should hopefully help you catch up on the lore of the epic Shannara timeline.
Now that MTV has adapted the series, more people have interest in reading the books. He even created a graphic novel as part of the timeline. While Terry Brooks has continued to write books in chronological order over the years, he has occasionally gone back and written prequel novels. The Shannara series has a lot of separate stories, often appearing in trilogies. These include the Word/Void series. It also includes the show, even though the show does not perfectly follow the books. The show starts with Elfstones of Shannara. This timeline lists all of the Shannara books and tie-in series. The Shannara Chronicles is a television series, developed by MTV, based on the book series. This Shannara reading order comes from the series of books written by Terry Brooks. What started in 1977 has become a huge sprawling series. The Shannara series has become one of the quintessential fantasy series of the last two generations.
