Yes, Terry Brooks has written books that are not Shannara
related, and they are every bit as much fun! At least I enjoyed it immensely.
Ben Holiday grieves. His wife, whom he loved, died, and he
has never totally recovered. An ad comes out in his wife's favorite holiday
wish book offering a magic kingdom for sale for the mere pittance of $1M. Ben
has the money. And he has the desire to start over someplace else. But a
"Magic Kingdom"?? Even one with dragons and witches in a land not on
any map he's ever seen?
Not only can he afford to buy it, but when he does, he will
become the King!
And so our protagonist gives up his lucrative law practice
in the Windy City for a dream, an escape, and buys the Magic Kingdom. And our
good fortune is that he shares it with us!
This book is pure escape and loads of fun, perfect reading
as you recoup from the madness of the holidays, and if you leave it on the
coffee table, maybe the younger ones in your house will pick it up to read.
Wouldn't that be a treat?
