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!

Born in Spokane, Washington, and raised in the Puget Sound area north of Seattle, he received his Bachelor of Arts degree from Reed College in Portland, Oregon, in 1954, and a master of arts degree from the University of Washington in 1961. He served in the US Army, worked as a buyer for the Boeing Company, and was both a grocery clerk and a college English teacher. He lived in Nevada until his death, at the age of 77.

I absolutely love David Eddings and adore all three books of this series. I used to have these books years ago and due to moving constantly I somehow lost them. I just recently reordered book two and three to reread them. I cant seem to put them down!! Everytime I immerse myself into this story I cannot put it down. I get really into the book and laugh and cry at some points. The writing is amazing and keeps me memorized through the whole book!! Definitely on my favorite books shelf.

4.0 out of 5 stars quite enjoyable
Reviewed in the United States on August 11, 2016

A good fantasy story line by the authors of the Belgariad/Malorian sets of books. Yes, I said "authors" -- as I understand it David Eddings cowrote these books with his wife, Leigh Eddings, though originally only he was listed as author because of the publisher's insistence that single-author novels sell better than multi-authored novels.

The Elenium and Tamul series have a different set of characters and different setting than the Belgariad and Malorian series. I have yet to read the Tamul series (though I plan to), but I quite enjoyed the Elenium series. I found the Belgariad and Malorian series to be better developed and more satisfying overall, but both story lines are quite entertaining. I plan to not only continue with the Tamul books, but to read anything else by these two authors I can find.

My one criticism of the Elenium series is the overuse of "bleak" and "bleakly". I personally feel that most of the time these words were used other synonyms could have been utilized more effectively, and the sheer frequency of the usage gives the narrative a feeling of less time spent, less care taken developing it. Looking past this one failing, however, I find I quite enjoy the humor popping in at odd moments, and the books did give some surprises I did not anticipate. We will likely order these books on Audible, too, for playing in the car on road trips. Our entire family has quite enjoyed listening to the Belgariad/Malorian books in the car, and I think they will also enjoy these, too.

And thus we finish this series with some surprises and a final resolution of all the plot threads. It doesn't end where you might think, but goes on to tie up all the loose ends. A satisfactory ending to the series. Recommended.

Like most of Eddings series one begins great for the first two or three and then fades out. As in all of his books, the dialog is terrible, All the same, I like them all and read them over and over.

It's a classic book from masters of the genre but the fact that the kindle edition costs more than the paperback is quiet annoying. also it's a hit and miss on the books available in your region as some of the books are not available in my country so watch out you may not be able to get a full kindle set.

I have read and re-read this series several times over the years and I am inevitably engrossed every time. Also never fails to have me bawling my eyes out during a certain couple of points in this book. That said the series is filled with humour and love in amongst the dire circumstances and battles along the way.
Very well written and very real characters.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fantasy wie ich sie mag, Teil 3
Reviewed in Germany on August 25, 2013

Die Elenium Reihe und danach die Tamuli Reihe (auch wenn diese einige Längen aufweist) gehören auf der Liste meiner liebsten Fantasy-Bücher ganz weit nach oben.

Die Geschichte weißt alles auf was man von guter Fantasy erwarten kann und hat einige interessante Wendungen zu bieten (hier mehr dazu zu schreiben wären echte Spoiler, daher verzichte ich darauf).

Die Charaktere sind facettenreich und besitzen Tiefe, die Geschichte ist spannend, bietet Kampf, Intriege und Humor sowie Magie, ohne das Letztere, wie in so vielen anderen Geschichten übermächtig wäre.

Ich kann diese Eddings Reihe nur empfehlen. Ich habe auch seine Belgarion-Saga gelesen, die ich ok fand, seine neueren Bücher waren nicht mehr so mein Fall, aber Elenium und Tamuli habe ich inzwischen mehrfach (zuerst auf Deutsch und später nur noch im Englischen Original) gelesen und werde es vermutlich irgendwann noch einmal tun!
