Hoewel ik deze serie wel al ooit heb gelezen, wist ik er niks meer van. Het kan ook al goed 20 jaar geleden zijn dat ik deze boeken las. Ik heb er enorm van genoten en ben vrolijk verder gegaan met boek 1 van de Tamuli. Wat cijfers betreft kwam ik even in de verleiding om 4 sterren te geven. Maar daar is het toch net niet goed genoeg voor. El caballero Falquián tiene por fin en su poder el Bhelliom, la legendaria joya mágica que protegió la vida de la reina Elhana de los efectos del veneno que le había administrado el primado Annias con el propósito de hacerse con el control del reino y apoderarse de su tesoro. Sin embargo, Falquián se da cuenta enseguida de que pasos asesinos lo acechan y percibe, además, que existe una inidentificable amenaza mucho más sombría y terrible. I know that David Eddings books are very much a repeated formula from series to series but that does not take away from my enjoyment of them. I first read his books many years ago when I chose them because they were the longest books I could find. I enjoy his characters and the plot and I find that in general they stand up to the test of time as long as you can enjoy the raging sexism. aucune critique | ajouter une critique

David Eddings returns to The Elenium, the splendid fantasy series that began with the thrilling novels Diamond Throne and Ruby Knight. Finally the knight Sparhawk had come to possess Bhelliom, legendary jewel of magic that alone could save Queen Ehlana from the deadly poison that had felled her father. Sparhawk and Sephrenia, ageless instructor in Styric magics, made haste to free Ehlana from the crystalline cocoon that had preserved her life while they desperately sought a cure. But Bhellion carried dangers of its own. Once the stone came into his hands, Sparhawk found himself stalked by a dark, lurking menace. Whether the foul Zemoch God Azash was behind this threat, or some other enemy, even Sephrenia could not say--only that the sapphire rose held powers too dangerous for any mortal to bear. Restoring Queen Ehlana would be only the beginning of Sparhawk's mission. With the aid of four stalwart knights, one from each Militant Order, he must thwart Ehlana's prisoner, the Primate Annias, in his plot to assume the throne of the Church. For as Archprelate, Annias would serve his secret master, Azash, and deliver up to the dread God the one thing Azash thirsted for--Bhelliom itself! Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |

Moved along fast enough,
Liked the epilogue,
It avoided what often happens (that annoys me) where after 3 books the finale comes swiftly and easily and then the book just ends.
But,
I got a little sick of repetitive dialogue, such as:
"You're a very bad man"
"I know"
Also, the Eddings seem to have a little trouble writing female characters. While being dry and treating the men around her like idiots worked for Polgara in the Belgariad, I felt like Ehlana alternated between this and her supposedly charming little girl acts and tantrums. I found that after all the talk involving how great she was, she was a disappointing and dislikable character.
Also -
I found the grooming aspect of a certain relationship rather creepy - especially that there was little attempt to justify it or handle it as anything but perfectly acceptable. But hey, the authors came from an era where it was OK for Woody Allen to get it on with his own stepdaughter so I guess my uncomfortableness at this is just me being a product of my times?
But, I rate these books according to my overall enjoyment, which was quite high despite my criticisms. ( )
