Terry Brooks’ Shannara series is a monumental high fantasy saga that captivated readers for over 40 years. Beginning with “The Sword of Shannara” in 1997 and concluding with “The Last Druid” in 2020, this series has left an indelible mark on the fantasy genre. For those who have not yet embarked on this epic journey, now is the perfect time to start.

Humble Bundle is currently offering an incredible deal on the Shannara series, with up to 20 books available for a mere $18. While this bundle may not encompass the entire series, the value it provides at less than a dollar per book is truly unmatched. For those who prefer physical copies, Amazon has a hardcover edition of “The Sword of Shannara Trilogy” available for $22, down from its original price of $40. Originally released in 2002 to commemorate the 25th anniversary of the series, this hardcover edition is a collector’s item that still holds its appeal today.

In addition to the Shannara series, Humble Bundle also offers the Jeff VanderMeer Weird World’s book bundle, featuring the acclaimed Southern Reach series and eight more books for $18. This bundle provides the perfect blend of high fantasy and experimental science fiction. The Southern Reach series will see its unexpected fourth entry, “Absolution,” release in October, making this bundle a timely choice for fans of the genre.

The Shannara Humble Bundle offers various tiers to cater to different preferences and budgets. The $18 bundle includes all 20 items, while there are also options for a nine-item bundle at $10 and a three-item bundle featuring the original trilogy for just $1. When purchased individually, these 20 books would cost around $173, making the $18 bundle an exceptional value for fans. All books are provided in digital format through Kobo, requiring a simple account creation to access them. With the Kobo Books reading app available on multiple platforms, including iOS, Android, PC, and Mac, readers have the flexibility to enjoy their favorite titles on the go.

Regardless of the bundle chosen, it is recommended to start with “The Sword of Shannara” before diving into other titles. This first book in the original trilogy sets the stage for the entire series, introducing readers to The Four Lands and the protagonist Shea Ohmsford on his quest to retrieve the mythical Sword of Shannara and defeat the Warlock Lord. The intricate backstory of Shannara, including a post-apocalyptic world, the resurgence of magic, and genetic mutations shaping fantastical creatures, adds depth and complexity to the narrative.

In addition to the Shannara series, fans of fantasy and science fiction can look forward to upcoming releases of new collector’s box sets, offering fresh adventures and beloved classics alike. From the captivating world of Shannara to the enchanting tales of Tolkien’s Middle-earth, there is an abundance of rich storytelling waiting to be explored. With a diverse array of themed bundles available, such as the Capcom Summer 2024 Bundle, The Lego World Collide Bundle, and the Tower Defense Bundle, readers can immerse themselves in a plethora of thrilling narratives and engaging gameplay experiences.
