The Elves of Cintra

I'm really enjoying this series and looking forward to finding out how it leads into the [b:The Sword of Shannara Trilogy 478894 The Sword of Shannara Trilogy (Shannara, #1-3) Terry Brooks https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1388201262l/478894.SX50.jpg 467318]. There are still too many characters to keep track of, but there haven't been many new ones added in this book so it's getting easier. I'm listening to the audiobook narrated by [a:Phil Gigante 521640 Phil Gigante https://images.gr-assets.com/authors/1263251671p2/521640.jpg] and he does a really good job. I read the original trilogy in the late 80s and kept going until the end of the [b:The Talismans of Shannara 34919 The Talismans of Shannara (Heritage of Shannara, #4) Terry Brooks https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1168573644l/34919.SY75.jpg 201738]. I don't know what kept me from carrying on when more came out, but I'm making up for that now, having started again with the Sword trilogy and then went right back to the start of the Word and the Void. So I'll be jumping into [b:The Scions of Shannara 34988 The Scions of Shannara (Heritage of Shannara, #1) Terry Brooks https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1429347355l/34988.SY75.jpg 19017827], or do I have to read [b:First King of Shannara 92855 First King of Shannara (The Original Shannara Trilogy, #0) Terry Brooks https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1171251172l/92855.SY75.jpg 1245597] first? I'll have to check the chronology and go with that if that's the way to do it. I've got a long drive coming up next week so I guess I'll get into [b:The Gypsy Morph 2675261 The Gypsy Morph (Genesis of Shannara, #3) Terry Brooks https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1420943855l/2675261.SY75.jpg 2595624] then if my wife can stand it ha ha!
