2. Thats a bit far in to the series

Have you been reading them all? Oddly enough, there's a web page that explains how one should tackle the Shannara series.

Terry has written more than 30 books, three-quarters of which are related to one another. It can be confusing as a new reader where to start without spoiling the adventure.

Where should I start reading Shannara? When is the best time for me to read the prequel First King of Shannara without spoiling the Heritage series? Should I start reading the books in published order or chronological order? These are questions that come into the website often and they are why this page of the website exists.

It’s not only difficult for new readers. It can even be confusing for long-time readers returning to the series.

Enjoy!
