Summary: Too much (supposedly) witty dialouge
Review: I really was looking forward to joining all the old characters from the Elenium and I brought this book the second it came onto the shelf. I was extremely dissapointed to find out that all the characters I had grown to love were gone. All replaced by a single person with a too sarcastic wit who was playing all of the main characters at the same time. There was never any tension in the story as it was always clear that our hero(s) would always outwit the stupid enemy while making fun of him at the same time. Sadly, I have not even considered picking up a David Eddings book since that day, and I would reccomend that if you like Eddings don't read this book; it may change your mind.

Summary: Okay - if you like that kind of thing
Review: I Thought that Domes of Fire was well written. The Characters in this book seemed real. Sparhawk was my favorite by far. He always had something cool to say, and he was tough. It left alot of room for the following books. One thing that I wished were done a little diffrently were the battles. They seemed so short. Just when they got started, they ended. All in all this was an awesome fantasy adventure.

Summary: It's only entertainment... but I like it.
Review: It seems that all you have to do to enjoy a book by Eddings is turn your brain off. It's been some time since I read the Elenium, and I didn't have much expectations as it comes to this sequel, but yes, the man can still write. Some people here complain that the characters never encounter any real danger, but I don't see that as a bad thing. In fact, what I've been missing in many fantasy books is a certain sense of lightness. You can get tired of savage, breathtaking battles for the victory of the good. I mean, we all know the good _will_ win in the end! So why bite your fingernails off for nothing.Eddings is a humorous writer, of course, but his language is great and makes me laugh very often. Also he has a certain understanding of human nature. This is not great art, but surely there's worse fantasy writers around. I'll be very delighted to read the rest of Tamul.

Summary: After starting to read it, i could not put down the book.
Review: It's the best book i've read in ages.David Edding surely know to capture the heart of the readers by using the characters and a wonderful storyline. He displayed a true meaning of friendship by telling how the characters help one another.He also created a vivid picture in the mind of the reader about how the story is going on.His plot and storyline is hard to predict.Thanks to him for giving us a wonderful by the title of "The Ellenium" and "The Tamuli"All the six books was great.

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

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.

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.

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...

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
