Let's see how short I can make this.
1. As a youngster, read the Shannara trilogy (and Heritage of Shannara tetralogy)
2. Spend a long time reading non-Brooks fantasy (not for any particular hatred of his writing)
3. A few months ago, discover his Word/Void series, and start reading it, thinking it would be interesting to read some modern fantasy
4. Discover that's the Word/Void series is actually a far-prequel to Shannara
5. Yesterday, start reading the Genesis of Shannara series
It sort of makes me want to dig up the old books and reread them. Or maybe some of them.
