Īfter finishing two sequels to The Sword of Shannara, Brooks moved on to the series which would become known as the Landover novels. With this inspiration, he then made his debut in 1977 with The Sword of Shannara. While Tolkien inspired the genre, Brooks stated during his TEDxRainier talk "Why I Write about Elves", as well as at the Charlotte Literary Festival that he credits the inspiration of his style of writing to William Faulkner's works. Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings, which inspired him to write in one genre. One day, in his early college life, he was given a copy of J.

All in all, I've found it really good, probably a little underrated. If you stop watching the last episode two minutes or so before the end you can feel satisfied to some degree that the story has been fulfilled.
However The first two seasons also stand quite well on their own. This series deserves several more seasons. I found the visual effects really good, probably the reason the series got discontinued (too expensive) after the second season. I'm aware that acting isn't perhaps top notch, but it's not bad considering that the cast consists mostly of young and completely unknown actors. The plot is very engaging and keeps the viewer interested. It's targeted at the younger audience, however I find it quite enjoyable as an adult (maybe I'm a sucker for fantasy tales though). This title has its flaws, however it's still one of the best fantasy series out there.
