Poll: Are You Happy Shannara Nears Its End?
For many of you, that poll question likely made you want to howl in anger.
It’s true though. For the last year at events and on this website, Terry has been saying that he will be wrapping up the end continuity of the Shannara series. It doesn’t mean he won’t write more Shannara books set within the established timeline—like pre-Shannara books or books set between series—but it does mean Terry will be concluding the series exactly as he sees fit.
That means, thankfully, in the event of untimely...

Yes, for me it is also bittersweet. I came across a copy of "The Sword" at a time in my life where I was contemplating not going on. I was a child and was going through things no child should have to go through. I had given up on the world. I felt abandoned by the world. To me friendships did not exist. That book was my savior. When bad things were happening to me I was able to remove myself from this world and I was able to transport myself to that world. I am glad to see him conclude on his own terms yet find myself crying knowing it will occur. I can only hope he does not bring the series to an end in the present time period.
I really enjoy this series. If it ends... I hope it ends well! :-)
This is sad but, all good things must end.
I am sad that this series is ending. I look forward to a new series :)
