The Shannara Saga

The Shannara Saga Chronological Reading Order:

This reading order is the chronological in-world order of the Saga starting from the first stories that begin the Shannara Saga. This was taken from the author’s, Terry Brooks’ website, who also recommends a reading order for first time readers that is similar to the original publication order. You can find more about which order might be best for you on TerryBrooks.net.
