Terry Brooks will always be associated with Shannara, in the same way as David Eddings will probably never escape the lands of the Belgariad and Raymond Feist and Riftworld will always go together. All of them have branched off and written other series, but they cannot escape the stories they are best known for. However, what Brooks is trying to do with the ''Genesis of Shannara Trilogy'' is combine his Shannara and ''[[The Word and the Void]] '' trilogies into something that his website claims will appeal to new readers of his books, which is exactly what I am.
Starting with the second part in a trilogy is not wise, however, as ''The Elves of Cintra'' immediately assumes you've previously read [[Armageddon's Children]] and drops you straight into the action without preamble and without introducing you to any of the characters. You're supposed to know who Logan Tom is and how and why a Knight of the Word should be associating himself with a group of children known as the Ghosts.
