Out of the first three, I liked `the revenge' the most. The story took some interesting swings, and the many intertwined storylines were not as easily untangled as in the earlier books. Also, it's the first one with pretty much an open ending, leaving the reader at the edge of his seat waiting for the next one to get published (the fate of the Dwarves).
I'm reading the English translations of the books, and I was a bit put off by the change in translation of the älf-race. In the first books, the singular form was ``älf'' and the plural ``älfar'', which I liked and got used to. In this edition a single älf was also being referred to as an älfar.

Decent book up till the stop of the book. I wont call it an ending because there wasn't any. In fact it was a horrible way to finish the book. Our hero deserved better! I did not care for the relationship issues with our Herio and his woman/men...sadly again it felt out of place and not keeping with the true nature of the series. I will read more in the Dwarves line but will go in skeptical and not expecting to much when its available. Rushed writing and desertion of the author at the end make for a unenjoyable read!
Good story, but not as good as the first one.
L'avevo sempre sostenuto che gli elfi di questa ambientazione fossero un po' nazisti... per citare Gli Atroci: "gli elfi saranno anche belli e immortali / ma sono un ammasso di str****..."
Di nuovo gli albi sono il tocco di follia del libro. In realta' Nasgor Inaste mi fa quasi pena a momenti... ma Aiphaton molta di piu'

Als vanuit het niets duiken ze op in het Veilige Land: een woeste horde angstaanjagendeschepselen, half orc, half elf, die jacht maken op de magische diamanten. Wie deze diamanten bezit, zal de wereld regeren. Wanneer de meedogenloze halfwezens het dwergenvolk met dodelijk gevolg bedreigen, wordt Tungdil opgeroepen om nog meer onheil af tewenden. Hij neemt zijnmagische bijl ter hand en opent op zijn beurt de jacht... Voor de Nederlandse Heitz-lezer – en dat zijn er inmiddels tienduizenden – is het allang geen geheim meer: Tungdil is met afstand de sympathiekste held in de moderne fantasy

Wie alle anderen Teile auch grandios gesprochen und eine echte Ergänzung zum Buch. Allerdings ist der Preis sehr happig und die Tatsache, daß man das Hörbuch nur gekürzt rausgebracht hat, ist mehr als bedauerlich. Für das Geld hätte man eine ungekürzte Lesung erwarten dürfen. Aber damit tut sich HörbuchHamburg ja immer schwer.
