BrooksBlog: Staying Sane On Tour

Terry BrooksTerry BrooksDear Readers,

The book tour for The Sorcerer’s Daughter continues, but I am taking time out for a few days to attend my 50th year college class rennin at Hamilton College. A bit surreal. Most of my classmates I have not seen for 50 years. Some I recognize, some not. The nature of things, I guess. None of us look the same, of course. Still, lots of fun remembering and seeing the campus again after all this time. Very different. Makes me wish I was going here now instead of back whe...

BrooksBlog: The Importance of Touring

Terry BrooksTerry BrooksGreetings from the Road!

Been a while since I blogged about anything, so I thought this would be a good time to correct that. Took me a week because there has been precious little time for anything. Here is my daily routine.

THE SORCERER’S DAUGHTER In US Stores Today!

bn-sorcerers

The Sorcerer’s Daughter by Terry Brooks is in fine US bookstores today!

As a long-time Shannara fan with a lot of opinions on the subject, this third and final book in the Defenders of Shannara series is one of Terry’s best books. For many reasons.

The power of the prose. The arcs and relationships of the characters. The danger that is present. The magic that is used. The Sleath. And how Terry has stretched the boundaries of his own world to incorporate elements not seen in the series before...
