Ruby Knight

Rating:
Summary: Bre's
Review: This is the first book that I've ever read by David Eddings, and it definitely will not be the last. I haven't ever wanted to read anything since I first started learning to read when I was about 4 or 5, but I'm fourteen now and I love this book! I'm just your average fourteen-year-old too. Not some little bookworm. Anyway, enough about me, about this book. These are what I found to be strong-points:

Huge cast of important characters.
Each character is uniquely different [that may have been a reduntant statement(uniquely different), but work with me!]
The author, David Eddings, introduces character traits all throughout the novel.
Lots of suspense and mystery.

Anyway, I'm in class right now so I guess I'll go now before the bell rings. Believe me, there's so much more that I haven't mentioned. So, all-in-all, a great book! I can't wait to read more books by David Eddings.

Summary: "Middle-child syndrome"
Review: Unfortunately, the "middle child" syndrome continues its time-honored tradition here. Although there is some action, for the most part "Ruby Knight" is a place-keeper, marking the time between when Sparhawk figures out what he has to do and finally does it.
At the end of "Diamond Throne", it was revealed that the only thing that would save Queen Ehlana was the Bhelliom, a legendary sapphire of enormous power. Once it was a part of the Royal Crown of Thalesia, but was lost during the monumental Zemoch War several centuries earlier. Now Sparhawk has to track it down, dig it up, learn how to control it, and get it back to Ehlana, before the spell preserving her life fails, and those of his friends who are supporting the spell die with it.
So Sparhawk and Co. trek across the continent, fighting a few battles, meeting a few characters (some of whom will become important later, so pay attention), avoiding the Bad Guys (as led by Annias, the churchman who's seized control of Ehlana's kingdom and is looking to take over the Church as well, and Martel, Sparhawk's nemesis) and learning much more than they planned about the REAL history of their world. We finally find out what the heck is the deal with Flute, the Styric orphan Sephrenia adopts, but as I said, this book mostly exists to keep Books 1 and 3 from bumping into each other.

Summary: Wonderful
Review: When I first buy this book (I didn't even know it was the second part), I felt transported to that magical age where magic, knights and religion is a common thing. Since this book I statarted to buy a lot Edding's books and I should say I'm full of happyness with his way of writting and the way he tolds stories. There is no other way to explain his wonderful work.
