The Elenium<\/p>\n
David Eddings<\/p>\n
This is a fantasy trilogy consisting of the following books:
\nThe Diamond Throne
\nThe Ruby Knight
\nThe Sapphire Rose
\nThis is the story of a church knight called Sparhawk and the adventures he goes on to save the life of his queen and prevent his continent from falling in the hands of the debased God, Azash.
\nEddings writes fantasy books to a pretty cynical formula, designed to attract as many fantasy readers as possible. I get the distinct impression that he writes for the money.
\nSaying that I still enjoy the books, they’re a diverting and speedy read. They’re no more than fluff but for reading on the train, they’re just about perfect.
\nIf you’ve just finished reading some of his earlier books, I’d recommend you hold fire for a while, ’cause the formula will slap you in the face. If you’re coming to them fresh and you like fantasy fiction then I’d say they’re worth reading.
\nI much prefer the Sparhawk stories to the Garion stories, ’cause Sparhawk isn’t quite as annoying as Garion and the stories are a little more adult.
\nHaving said that I’m trying not to read the follow up trilogy – The Tamuli any time soon!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
