Got Landover?
Terry has finished the final edits on A Princess of Landover, the first new Magic Kingdom book in 14 years!
Magic Kingdom has always been kind of a stepchild to the rest of what Terry has done. The Shannara series dwarfs everything else -- people love their epic fantasy. The irony is Magic Kingdom is the closest thing to an autobiography Terry has ever written, and Ben Holiday is Terry Brooks in many ways. To know Terry a bit more, just read Ben Holiday.
In preparation of reading the new book, I've re-read the first five books. I haven't read them in all of those 14 years and I was amazed at how much I had forgotten and how good they are, especially Wizard At Large and The Tangle Box.
So, to the new Poll: Have you read the Landover novels? Have you read all five Magic Kingdom books? Only a few? If you have read them, will you be re-reading them in preparation for the next book? Or do you simply not like Landover? Speak your mind on the Forum! I'm curious how many of you are Landover fans.

I read them all a year or two ago, and I plan on rereading them before #6 comes out. Looking forward to it!
As a teenager I preferred the Shannara series, but as an adult I find I prefer Landover. Maybe now I can relate to Ben Holiday better than to the Omsfords? Will definitely read Book Six when I see it.
i read them when i was younger and have since read all but the black unicorn(hard to find around here) at least twice
