Review # 1 was written on 2013-05-29 00:00:00 Al Hale It took a while for me to get back in the swing of Eddings after the dystopian sci-fi I've been reading lately but it picked up toward the end. At one point I mentioned my trouble to my husband and he replied "But you've been laughing out loud constantly!" and that is the main charm of Eddings for me, the humor, which is very present in this volume.

Review # 2 was written on 2012-01-01 00:00:00 William Bush This series continues to frustrate as David Eddings leaves the reader with a massive unfinished scene at the very end of the book. This book continues his style of writing pages of dialogue, unbroken by any personal reflection by any of the characters or even descriptions of who's talking. Character interaction is at the forefront of this book at the expense of a complex plot, though it's still hard to fathom motives for some of the stranger plot devices, or any sense of excitement, as the characters never find themselves in any challenging situation. The fact that all the characters have the exact same sense of humour and few other defining characteristics makes the book a boring read since there is little other content than character interaction. Battles are poorly described and go into no detail. Overall not terrible book, but too painful to read.
