    Dude, I want to hear more... I am a super big nerd of fantasy, action packed, comedic, fueling and thinking books and movies! I'm really looking forward to the next video. But can you give me something to work with~ knowledge of the elves, and how the last or only Druid being Alenon Is the only one left? Now I haven't yet read these books, but I am more than interested to do so! So an idea stretching off of the show would be nice.
  • I love this show so mad because they canceled this show miss this show love this show love 💘it

    when I was 14 I was walking down a hallway at a community center and found The Elfstones of Shannara book just laying in the middle of the hallway. I'd never heard of Terry Brooks but I was hooked after seeing the book cover and have been a huge fan since. Nice videos. It really helps people understand that are new to the Shannara world.
  • @MobsPlay
    just watched the series! great video btw!! gonna keep watching
  • I need to read the books and I just finished season 1 I’m so pissed this show was cancelled it’s so good
  • @IVANLEEespinosa
    I just finished the trilogy. And I loved it!!! One of my fave fantasy series. I'm going to plunge into another Shannara books. :)
  • bro i loved the books and loved the show s2 was kinda cramed together but still good
  • @catejones3843
    This is exactly what I was looking for! I want to know if I should read the books and this helps a lot!
  • I have watched the tv show and loved it. Would you recommend to definitely start with the first book?
  • I am reading the Elf stones of Shannara and the Prequel book. The first king of Shannara.
  • @teamklr2bar
    do you have a recommendation of the best order to read the books in?

    Hey, I'm just getting into this series after finishing season 2 of the show (I really hope some other network picks up the show, I want a third season and more if possible). I enjoyed the first season but outright LOVED the second season and now I want to get into the books. I just ordered the Sword of Shannara trilogy the other day as I knew those were the first three but I was curious what your recommendation would be for the order in which a new fan should read the series. I'm pretty broke right now so it'll take some time for me to collect the series but I plan to do it if I enjoy the Sword of Shannara trilogy (I'm pretty sure I will), so I was just curious what such an in-depth fan as yourself might recommend as to the order in which new fans should read the series. Anyways, thanks for these videos! I love watching lore videos for fantasy series like The Elder Scrolls and The Lord of the Rings and it seems like there is a terrible lack of lore videos for the Shannara series so I'm glad that at least someone is covering it! PS: Love the RuneScape troll @ 2:32. That's another great fantasy series, there.
  • I like your videos and I read some of the books and I'm am a big fan of study fantasy shows like this one
  • @ronhall5751
    I rewatched this video and really like your explanation. But can you do a video on the map of the 4 lands. I remember something about Mt. Rainier?
  • This is great... theres a Question about The nights of the word and the Druids, as the rune marking on the staff seem identical to the runes on the Druids?. could you explain? thanks 😀
