This series started out with some promise in book 1, but has gone rapidly downhill by this book. Half of this book is repetition of book 2, told from the point of view of different characters, and the rest is predictable. The ending is just too convenient to be credible. Don't go by the star rating, this book is over-rated. ( )

This review is for the whole dreamers series. I can't say this is Edding's best work. it's a good story; there's and evil creature that wants to take over the world with its minions and a group of gods, goddesses, children and other various characters who fight it off in a series of wars. But the reader quickly gets annoyed by the sardonic sense of humor that EVERYONE in the books seems to have. in his earlier books there was one or two characters that could make funny jokes by pointing out the obvious and making cryptic little remarks but in this series it seems everyone is that character and it gets a little tiring. and confusing there are so many characters in this series and they are all so much alike one loses track because it doesn't really matter who is talking as they all talk alike

Not the best of Eddings. After a while, the characters' dialogue becomes annoying instead of smart and funny as it was meant to be. ( )
