Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The Tamuli
Review: Once again, David Eddings wizardry of the word has created a fantasy classic. I would certainly recommend this book as a must read. J.C. Allen

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Same boring story, different land
Review: The first book of tamuli, already when I checked out the cover I had the strangest feeling that this wasn't going to be a great reading experience, and I was right. The hero group meet a few new friendly people which are the dullest characters since.....They crack a few EXTREMELY lame "jokes". And so on and so on. I think this is the strongest book of the tamuli, it is quite thrilling when you don't know how strong the enemy is, but that feeling didn't last long. I can only recommend this book to the fanatic Eddings fans.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: This book was great, gets you thinking, and keeps you readin
Review: This book by David Eddings was wonderful. Though I hear many people say that there seems to be little danger to the main character, Sparhawk, it is still a great read. Eddings gets you thinking by adding race differences, religion, politics, and intricate plot twists. What makes a great author (I think) is his/her ability to keep you reading and comparing the book to your life. I like Eddings' style because of that ability that he posesses. I completly enjoyed this book and the rest of his serieses.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Intriguing plot mixed with good old Eddings
Review: This book is a change in Eddings' writing from sword and sorcery fantasy to a more sophisticated political yarn. It sets the stage for a predictable conclusion in later books, which show a Hollywood-level failing that the reader knows that there is no real danger to the main characters whatsoever (although I suppose Troll Gods aren't exactly Hollywood). Because this "setting the stage" part is the only part of the series that doesn't write itself, I liked this book the best of the trilogy, although it retains a few common faults of the author and genre, such as the simple race-stereotypes of characters. And what's with that mangled Irish dialect? After tredging through three books of that it gets a tad much. Hmm, this makes me want to go back to Guardians of the West...

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Great Book
Review: This book was on of the best that I have ever read, and I have read a lot of fantasy. Eddings has a thrilling way of mixing big battles, duels, politics and magic all into one book

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: It seems to be the same things as the other books...awesome!
Review: This book was really good. David Eddings' writing continues to impress my young mind. The only problem that I see with this is if you compare it to the Belgariad,then they're pretty much along the same lines. This book itself showed no hints of it being anything the same. Even though this was the first book I think it was the best one for the series since it showed no hint of similarities. As I sit in Sunday school I'm realizing what Eddings is REALLY doing though. In a subtle way he's adding speculations about religion. I noticed this during Sunday school when my teacher was talking to us

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Hmm
Review: What can i say, its a captivating story, it has humor. But i dont find the charakters welldone. The humor is in all the right places, AND all the wrong places, its everywhere. Because of this i got bloody tired of the book after reading half of it. And the humor never changes, therefor you dont get to experience feelings and emotions that are there. I cannot recomend this book. Thank you

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: It's downhill from here...
Review: Why does it seem like this whole series has so many gratuitous moments, like the monster vs. Zalasta scene? The characters start evidencing the not-that-funny one-liners that plague Eddings, but in this book they're not so bad - the rest of the series, however, will make your teeth ache with them. If you've read the Elenium (which was way better), you might want to read this just to find out what happens to Sparhawk and company. Don't. You can probably imagine a better sequel yourself.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The new adventures of Sparhawk
Review: ~The Tamuli is the follow-up trilogy for the brilliant The Elenium, which introduced a hero, called Sparhawk, and followed him on his quest to save his queen, and ultimately his entire world, from the clutches of the e~ details, that might need further explaining. When I first read Domes of Fire, the first book of The Tamuli, I was genuinely impressed, with how well this book took up the very points I had been wondering about... plu~ description of the world thay live in, and of the new continent Daresia in particular. The Tamuli is well worth the effort of buying if you like David Eddings special writing-style. If you have not read The Elenium,
