About this listen

 This new series opens a new chapter in the Shannara legend. This is the story of the events before those described in The Sword of Shannara.

Here begins the chronicle of the Great Wars and the destruction of the Old World, the story of how one world was destroyed and another created.

This is the most ambitious project Terry Brooks has undertaken in his remarkable career, a series that will delight and amaze his existing fans and attract a whole new generation of readers.

I like the way Terry Brooks is using this Series to bridge to other sets of his works. The references to the TWTV series although quite frequent are not enough to leave someone who is yet to read TWTV in the dark. My only gripe with purchasing this book is finding out that Audible have parts 1 and 3 but not part 2. Come on Audible if people are going to start a series in audiobook format they need to be able to finish it in audiobook format without having to purchase hardcopies in between.

For those who have followed the earlier books it's Shannara all over again but earlier. Still good storytelling with parallel story lines.

what goes around has been around

Brilliantly read, some words mispronounced and the narrator occasionally sounds like Jordan Peterson which is distracting for me but this book is such a great story. Nearly cried during one scene lol definitely reading/listening to the next

Great book

Great and entertaining.

Armageddons Children is a great book. The best thing about it all is when your listening to the story you imagine the characters and where they are and the conditions that they had to live in, the struggles they had to endure a long the way. I strongly recommend this to anyone who likes fantasy.

Terry Brooks is a great author
