Mon Feb 15, 2021 9:00am 5 Favorites [+] We love a good retelling whether it’s a favorite fairy tale, ancient myth, or epic tale, it’s always great to see old things made new. Part of the reason we love these stories is because they’re so malleable; with themes that span the breadth of the human experience, tales of love, revenge, and adventure can find a home in any place and time, with characters that feel both familiar and fresh at the same time.

It’s filled with adventure and wisdom, and navigates well-worn ideas with fresh enthusiasm.” [Katharine Coldiron] Terry Brooks, The Last Druid (Del Rey 10/20) Brooks began exploring the world of Shannara, setting of his bestselling and influential epic fantasy series, with The Sword of Shannara in 1977. Now, after more than 40 years and 30 volumes, through prequels and spin-offs and sub-series, we have the concluding volume of both the Fall of Shannara saga and the series as a whole, as the heroes defend their land against the invading Skaar. ....
