Hidden City

Rating:
Summary: A must read.
Review: The Hidden City, book three in the Tamuli is a book that you have to read. I think that if you enjoy fantasy you will enjoy this book. I read it in one day. I just could not put it down. David Eddings did a good thing by putting this book into book stores everywhere. In this book you will find war, honor, killing, magic, suprise, and most of all action. I scencerly belive that everyone should read this book. But before you do read books one and two Domes Of Fire, and The Shining Ones. Buy them today

Summary: The Hidden Treasure
Review: The last in the installment of the "Sparhawk" adventures is just like the rest. It is full of gods, humor, and magic... with fighting. Suprises abound, some you can see coming, but many you can't. This book has a good ending to the whole series (no real loose ends), but leaves open several doors for a next series with this crew. I hope there is one...

Summary: Sweet Book, Sweet Author
Review: This book is like any other of David Eddng's books-Awsome! It has all the makings of a great fantasy book with magic, demons, monsters, spellcasters, knights and gods. This book along with all the other books of "The Tamuli" series is well written with a great storyline. I recommend this book to anyone who likes great fantasy novels.

Summary: wow, what a book!
Review: this book was wonderful. the maps showing the battles aswell as the country were superb. the characters are so believable that you find yourself deeply involved in there world. i couldn't put this book down!! the classic fight between good and evil rose to new levels with the introduction of gods and armies with magic and race prejudices being encountered. Read the Elenium first for a full understanding of the charactors situatioon. i loved this book, as you will!!!!

Summary: very bad

Summary: A boring story filled with unfunny characters who won't die.
Review: This is one of the few fantasy series' I ever read where I really, really wanted the villain to win, but wait the villain here is too boring to even root for. Eee Gad, it the horrible conservative god!! I ended up wishing their little universe would collapse in on itself, killing all those annoying characters and even more annoying pantheon of gods. The repetitive one-liners and sarcastic remarks made by EVERY character are not funny in and only cemented my intense dislike for them. Don't even get me started on the horribly annoying Caalador and his accent. I couldn't even read his dialogue. Is this supposed to be cute? And then to top it off, Eddings rips off his own Belgariad, by having two opposing destinies meet to decide the fate of the universe...blah blah. Please Eddings if you're reading this no more Sparhawk stories!!!

Review: This is the last book of Eddings that i will read, becaus i've read all the others, and i'd like to say, that this time, Mr.Eddings has really written a great book, i mean REALLY great book, exiting, fun and easy to read. I live in Sweden, so not so many peaople read english books, but i do, and i like it. Especially Mr.Eddings books

Summary: I'm Sorry
Review: To have got this far you mus be an Eddings devotee. I was. Emphasis on the "was". I'm really sory to say this, but second the first books of both heroes was an incredible read. Wonderfully descriptive and characters with quirks and depth that really brought them to life. Both second series for me were a flop, but this none more. This must be the worse book I have read from an author I have recommended to others. Gods moving around armies? And then, in the end, there's no point to it all! Why not just let Sparhawk have his big gem, go in and kill everyone himself. That and the invicible band he travels with. Once you bring Gods (and the more powerful) in, you kind of lose touch. Isn't fantasy about you relating the character, or you living the hero?

Summary: Fantasy for people who don't read real fantasy ...
Review: Well I did manage to struggle my way thru to the end - but then I was stuck in hospital with nothing else to read and at least Eddings' turgid prose took my mind off all the injections, crap food etc. My first impression was that this hodge-podge of characters, gods etc. was what you would get if you mixed together large snippets of Tolkein, Moorcroft, Peake, Chalker with perhaps a smidgen of Buffy the Vampire Slayer in a blender. Ok to be fair it IS the third book of the series - perhaps if I'd read the first two I might understand the convulated rules governing the various gods/demons/heroes but even so I couldn't help feeling the story had plotholes a mile wide. For example, given the powers that Aphrael has why can't she help the human characters a lot more? Why do they have to plod around fighting all the time? Way way too many characters, too many silly names, confusing side plots, lack of coherent rules (vital in fantasy!) to say nothing of the fact that many of the 'heroes' are cruel and vicious and unfair. The ending was a damp squib and I felt sorry for any reader who had struggled their way thru the whole three books ...
