The Treasured One (The Dreamers, Book 2) 41 reviews David Eddings, Leigh Eddings
Grand Central Publishing, 2005
Book 2 of the Dreamers is more like Book 1.5
David and Leigh Edding's second book of the Dreamers series, The Treasured One, will be better known as book 1.5 rather than book 2. Easily, two-thirds of the book goes back to the events in book one, The Elder Gods, but through different characters perspectives.
Much like the first book of the ...

The Shining Ones (Book Two of The Tamuli) 21 reviews David Eddings
Del Rey, 1994
Eddings can do no wrong
+ Okay + Troll Stopping for Fun and Profit
I love the Tamuli books, if there is any way in which you have reached this point without having read anything by David Eddings, you must convert. He has enjoyed the sort of universal acclaim of the Harry Potter novels, and with much better reason & writing.
Whilst it is true that by the time ...

The Elder Gods (The Dreamers, Book 1) 142 reviews David Eddings, Leigh Eddings
Amazon Remainders Account, 2003
Not Eddings' Best Work
I was very disappointed with this series. It's not the typical David Eddings fare I am used to. Maybe I was expecting something along the lines of the Belgariad series. This story line just never grabbed my attention the way Belgarion and company did.

Crystal Gorge (The Dreamers, Book 3) 39 reviews David Eddings, Leigh Eddings
Grand Central Publishing, 2006
A Steady Decline. Who's Really Writing This???
The third book of the Dreamers, Crystal Gorge, is actually worse than the dreadful second book; and that's a near impossible feat to accomplish.
The once interesting story of four Gods battling an evil being called the Vlagh is getting bland and horribly repetitious. What happens in this book ...

The Younger Gods (The Dreamers, Book 4) 49 reviews David Eddings, Leigh Eddings
Grand Central Publishing, 2007
Weak ending for what should have been another great series.
In my opinion, Eddings is one of the top ten living authors. The previous series that he wrote (alone and with his wife) where awesome. However I was deeply disappointed in the ending for this one. I won't say any more in order to avoid a spoiler.

The Silver Serpent 3 reviews David Debord
Gryphonwood Press, 2007
Ready for the next book in the series!!!
+ An Engrossing New Epic Fantasy + A very enjoyable book
I just received my Kindle on 1/25/08, and this was the first book I read on it. I must say this was an absolute treasure to find. The author really fleshed the characters out well. He has not quite reached the level of Robert Jordan with delving into the peripheral characters, but that still does ...

Queen of Sorcery (The Belgariad, Book 2) 61 reviews David Eddings

Excellent fantasy series
+ Good Book, poor reading
I am enjoying this series a good deal. Yes, there are the common elements, the journey, the young farm boy headed towards maturity, the old wizzard. But they are done in a refreshingly different way.
The plotting and adventure of this book picked up quite a bit from the first, which was one of ...

Love Eddings
+ Tying up some of the loose ends. + Not the best in the series, but still worth a read
For people who enjoy reading for the purpose of getting into the story. The books written by David Eddings' are for people who get attached to characters and love to immerse themselves in reading. To me his books are like coming home for a visit.
If you want to read simply to get to the finish ...

There's some sort of sense of accomplishment in reading sixteen books by one author one right after another. Either that ot it's a measure of sheer power of will. Will David Eddings, both statements are true. There are moments in his booths where he has repeated his plot for the umpteenth time ...

Really Good Book
+ The Scions + A really good book (The Scions of Shannara).
I have never even heard of the Shannara before. I bought book 3 when I was in grade 8. It sat on the bookshelf for about 7 years. I was sitting at home and began to read it. I couldn't put the book down. I read to about page 100 and my dad told me I shouldn't start a series without reading ...
