Dark Wraith Review

A Dribble of Ink has got their hands on Terry's upcoming graphic novel, Dark Wraith of Shannara and just recently posted a review!

Here's a little of what they had to say:

"Brooks explores interesting territory with Jair's Wishsong, drawing parallels to drug addiction and it is as Jair struggles with a magic that is slowly eating away at him - but also necessary for his survival - that we find the true strength of the story and the character."

"...couldn't stop this Shannara fan from feeling slightly giddy at finally seeing the Four Lands brought to life visually and with a fun story to back up the pictures. This is one piece of fan service that Shannara fans won't want to miss..."

Dark Wraith Trailer

Here is the first of several really cool things that are being released here on the website.

Terry and Del Rey have released the trailer for Dark Wraith of Shannara. Dark Wraith is the 208 page graphic novel detailing Jair Ohmsford's seductive fight against the mounting power within, all the while trying to protect the Four Lands from a serious new threat. Robert Napton adapted Terry's story, and Edwin David supplied the artwork. The trailer has a lot of images of the graphic novel set to music and voice, and it is the first peek for fans of the Shannara series.

Right now, it is only available in .wmv format. Quicktime will come soon.

February will also see some new content from the graphic novel posted on the website. And in March, Dark Wraith will ship to comic shops and bookstores everywhere on March 25!

Visit the Dark Wraith of Shannara trailer by clicking HERE!

As for what else is coming, January 1st will see the next update: an audio file of Terry reading from Book Three in the Genesis of Shannara trilogy!

We hope everyone has been safe and continues to be safe during this holiday time!

Cintra Reviews

The Elves of CintraWith the impending release of Terry's latest novel, The Elves of Cintra, only hours away we here at the Official Terry Brooks web site know just how excited everyone is to get their hands on what A Dribble of Ink calls "easily his most complete and entertaining book since 2000's Ilse Witch," and Fantasy Book Critic says that The Genesis of Shannara trilogy is "is shaping up to be one of the author's most accomplished works and I can't wait to see how it ends"!

Many web sites and publication have received early review copies of The Elves of Cintra and below you will find a collection of those reviews that we've run across on the Internet. Be sure to check them all out, as they each bring new opinions, praise and interesting commentary to light about Terry's newest, most exciting novel!

A Dribble of Ink (Thumbs Up!) | "it is with great pleasure that I can say that The Elves of Cintra, the sequel to Armageddon's Children, is even better, a rare accomplishment for a middle book of a trilogy."

Bookie Monster (Highly Recommended)| "It was very hard to pinpoint exact things that made Elves of Cintra and its predecessor such a great read, but that is probably because even as a reviewer my mind was drawn away from the artifice and into the story."

Fantasy Book Critic | "I think anyone who calls themselves a fan of Mr. Brooks would be hard-pressed not to enjoy the new trilogy. For readers new to Terry Brooks, I think the Genesis of Shannara would be accessible to you since it's basically serving as the ultimate prequel to the Shannara series."

Publishers Weekly (A Starred Review) | "Celebrating his 30th year as a professional writer, Brooks provides another fascinating group of characters tackling harrowing and inspiring life and death issues."

SFRevu (Beware of Spoilers!) | "Fans of epic fantasy will enjoy The Elves of Cintra. For anyone who's a fan of Terry Brooks, this is a must-read."

We're proud to say that each any everyone of these reviews have been glowing! If you find any others floating around the 'net, be sure to leave a comment and we can add it to the list! Hopefully these reviews will help when your appetite for The Elves of Cintra!
