The tv series looks good. I'll give it a shot.
As for the books.....I read the original trilogy 20 odd years ago. Enjoyed them but by the end of the third book I was ready to donate to a fund for Brooks to go buy a new plot to use. All three seemed to me to be essentially the same book with different character names. Well except the Druid guy, he was in all three I think. I gave up after that.
I did like the Word and Void series and didn't realise it was supposed to be connected to Shannara. When I heard that it was, I read Genesis series simply because I was interested in how he bridged the gap between WaV and Shannara but just didn't like his writing it in at all and was left majorly disappointed.
Eddings was a fave of mine in my younger days. Totally agree that his books are a bit repetitive though. I re-read the Belgariad when he died but it just wasn't the same. Mostly because I've moved on from that genre/book/style/whatever it was that attracted me way back when.
