The good gods select champions, and oppose the plans of the evil gods, who mostly have hordes of brainless followers and a few champions. As usual, good triumphs over evil, mostl because good is exceptionally clever and devoted, and evil is pretty stupid. An entertaining book, but pretty shallow. (  ) Karlstar | Nov 10, 2009 |  No one in my family liked this series & we were all thrilled with his Belgariad series. There are 4 of us with varying tastes in fantasy & not one of us wanted to get the second book. We just couldn't like or identify with the main character or his issues. Blech. (  ) jimmaclachlan | Sep 25, 2009 | I used to think David Eddings had some talent as a fantasy author. I haven't read anything of his in several years so I bought the Dreamer series expecting a good read. I was extremely disappointed. The writing is very weak. The characters are shallow and one dimensional. I cannot believe the dialogue is so silly and repetitive. The characters seem to say the same thing every 5 or six pages. The plot line is predictable and there is no suspense or intrigue to be found. I thought after the first book that it might get better, but it continued to plod along. I do not recommend any of the books in the series. Save your money and find a good fantasy book/series. This is not it. It has turned me off to ever wanting to read Eddings work again. (  ) klaidlaw | Feb 6, 2009 | Uch. A rehash of every other Eddings book I've ever read. ( ) illuminarts | Jan 16, 2009 | 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 (  ) sarjah | Nov 12, 2008 |  no reviews | add a review
Amazon.com Download Description (ISBN 0446611670, Paperback)While most continents of their world float freely on the face of Mother Sea, the Land of Dhrall has existed anchored by the will of the Gods. All gods, Elder and Younger, share the people and the land of Dhrall equally, though the one place they never enter is The Wasteland, for that barren and hideous land is ruled by the Vlagh. Now, as the age of the Younger Gods comes to a close, a diabolical plan has come to light: The Vlagh plans to exploit the weakness that comes during the time of transfer of power from the Younger to the Elder Gods, with hopes to conquer Dhrall, neutralize the Gods, and then conquer the world. To do so, he is breeding an army—a terrible force of pure, efficient killing machines borne of monsters, demons, and beasts out of nightmares. Dahlaine, the leader of the Gods, has forseen the ugly future and has brought into existence what might be their only hope: four children, called the Dreamers. They hold the power to change the course of history through their dreams alone—and are the only ones with the power to stop the Vlagh in his quest for total world subjugation.(retrieved from Amazon Fri, 24 Apr 2009 07:58:17 -0400) The first test round has been closed.
