Loved this book...Very different from the first three in the series.

I am the bigggest Brooks fan. I am revisiting the Landover series and just finished The Tangle Box. I loved that this book brought in some new surprises. I don't want to spoil anything but I was surprisingly shocked by Bigger's Karmic departure at the end of the book, as well as the relationship between Ben and Nightshade and of course the birth of Ben and Willow's daughter. This book has surely set a new landscape for Witches Brew, (which I am reading now) allowing for an expansion of the storyline. I think the Landover series would be a huge success as a motion picture series. Hope it happens:)
plus a few for extra good writing

Finally Brooks took some risks and put his characters really on the line. I found this the best plotted one of the series! I loved it. The characters' explorations in their prison are wonderfully done, especially those they make into themselves. I think Brooks put more meat in this one, and that is why I like it so much. You gotta read this one. It is definately the most satisfying of the bunch, with the G'Home Gnomes being the coolest part of the book practically. Read it.
Great Job Terry, Another Piece of Excellent Work!!

I loved this book. Next to THE WITCHES' BREW, this was the best landover novel, Terry really did out do himself this time. I enjoyed this book the whole way through, I never wanted to put it down, and when I did, I picked it up again almost immediatly. I loved all the hardships and obsticles the characters had to face, endure, and over come throughout the course of the book. GREAT JOB!!!!!! This is a must read for anybody and everybody who has ever had a love for the spellbinding magic of a great fantasy novel.
Second Best of the Series
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 25 years ago
This story is the most interseting book of the series.It brings in a new character that Holiday and his friends must deal with. However, Holiday is traped in a magic box with his two enemies.What happens inside the box between The Knight (Holiday), the Lady (Nightshade),and the Gargoyle(Dragon) is very interseting.It is a must read for anyone whocv has enjoyed Brook's other Landover novels.
If you liked the Landover Series you will enjoy this one

If you read the fist three Landover books and like them, you will like this one. Simalar theme as the last three with Terry Brooks' excellent descriptions of details. The base story line is: A magic creature captures Holiday (King), Nightshade (Witch), and Sabro (Dragon) in the "Tangle box". Their memories are stolen from them and they wander around the Mysts not knowing who or what they are. Through a line of strange events they are freed by Holidays faithful servents. More details would ruin the book. Read it if you are a Terry Brooks Landover fan.
