Sparhawk and his wacky group of friends are at it again.
Be sure not to miss everyone's favorite troll, Bhlokw. See what kind of mischief that lovable scamp gets into.

Fidèle à sa copie de recette gagnante, David Eddings (et sa femme je suppose) a décider de faire une histoire dans son monde avec Sparhawk a nouveau et cette fois-ci sur le continent à l'Est où un autre peuple vie et où il pourra voyager d'un pays à l'autre dans le but d'éviter une noir prophétie. Encore du déjà vu, mais cette fois ci l'auteur s'est (a mon avis) un peu planté. Voici les trois raisons principales:

The Elenium is my favorite of all of David Eddings' series, but I almost wish he hadn't written The Tamuli, because it's more than slightly sub-par in comparison. It's nice to get a good look at the further adventures of Sparhawk et al, and there are some fun new characters. The plot, however, is boring, derivative, and it drags on and on and on. It feels like Eddings churned it out without putting much thought or love into it.
I really liked these books. I remeber getting tired of the heros always knowing what was going to happen and planning for it well in advance...so there was no suspense, and I was never worried about the protaganists getting hurt or loosing...
However, I loved the new and indepth cultures that Eddings always creates. Good stuff.

Fast-paced, and on the whole, very enjoyable. However, Eddings writes the type of dialogue that appears in Buffy week after week. Quips and slang are occasionally funny, but overall it feels unauthentic and ruins the fantasy for me. Left me wishing David Gemmel had written more books!
I suppose at some point people might begin to ask why, if I hated Eddings so much, did I keep reading him. The books were fun, I was in highschool, and I could read a book of his in about a day, so it wasn't much of an investment; it was like eating cotton candy or reading Clive Cussler. The Tamuli, however, was where I finally gave up. The second trilogy set in the world of Sparhawk, Eddings proceeded to tell the same story he had used in his last three epics AGAIN.

i read it back in 2006 and once i started i couldn't put it down until i finished it... took me almost 3 days (coz i have to work during the day) to finish it but it's so captivating and i just love Sparhawk
Became repetitive and uninspired as it went along. Was a good read at first, but I ended up putting the book down before finishing it, which is rare for me to do (especially with Eddings).
Loved this and the Elenium, which I read first. Just great reads, great fun. Truly one of my all time favorites.
Good, light-fantasy. The follow-up series to Elenium (Diamond Throne, Ruby Knight, Sapphire Rose).
I enjoyed this book a lot however I found it very hard to get into so a few chapters or so in I went back and read the Elenium series. This made the Tamuli make a lot more sense =).
Hey another trilogy after the previous one with the same characters and concerning events immediately following the first three. Is that a hexology or sextology?
Not as good as the Belgariad, but the characters are great.
Classic Eddings.
