Summary: simply wonderful
Review: The Elenium series was definitely one of the best fantasy series I have ever read. Eddings inserts humor in every line; there is a lingering amount of his own wit in every character which I found simply fascinating. My love for enchantment as well as the knights of the Medieval era was realized in this series--no small feat by any means. I recommend this series--Diamond Throne, Ruby Knight, and Sapphire Rose to anyone who appreciates magic, adventure, comedy, and romance in the same book.

Summary: A fantastic conclusion to the Elenium!
Review: The last book of the Elenium is also the best of the series. Queen Ehlana has been revived and just the world remains to be saved by Sparhawk and his friends. So our hero has to travel again ... The funniest aspect of this book was to discover that the great hero Sparhawk has little to come up with against Queen Ehlana. The woman he raised from early childhood knows very well how to manage him and her kingdom. As always, the dialogues put an amused smile on your face. Therefore: I can't wait to start the Tamuli series and read more about Eosia

Summary: The Sapphire Rose is the tying of too many loose ends.
Review: The Sapphire Rose does not resemble the first two books of the series. The main character's personalities and values have been changed. The relationship between the knight and the queen is ludicrous. The author seems to be tying up loose ends. There are so many loose ends, that all they do is talk, talk, talk. This book has been a letdown to an otherwise excellent series.

Summary: Bre's
Review: The Sapphire Rose lives up to the standard set by its two predessors. The characters develop nicely, and of course, we get to meet Ehlana. The book is characterised by the same dry sense of humour that comes out in all of Eddings books. However, often untrue and sometimes offensive remarks about the Christian church and its beliefs spoiled the enjoyment for me at times. If Mr Eddings wishes to include something like that in his books it would be nice if he researched it next time instead of following popular opinion.

Summary: Best in the Series
Review: The series started with The Diamond Throne ends well in this book. The Sapphire Rose is, undoubtedly, the best and most interesting book in The Elenium. As a whole, the series was a bit one-dimensional, with flat characters and a standard knight-saves-the-world-and-damsel-in-distress plotline. But once all that is accomplished, Mr. Eddings actually surpasses himself and throws in a few surprises, setting up the next trilogy nicely. It is worth reading the other two books in order to understand this one. Good summer reading.

Summary: The SINGLE bestbook I have ever read.
Review: This book had excitment, humor, and fun. I was totally hooked on all David Eddings books. The adventures of Sparhawk made me read. i had never read like that before. This book made me love to read.

Summary: One of the Most Original Books
Review: This book was one of the most original books I have ever read. I dislike to much dialouge, but this book rarely has too much dialouge. This book, along with the other awesome books in this series, has more magic and fighting. I am going to get the Tamuli along with the Belgariad and the Mallorean today.

Summary: And our story thus ends...
Review: While unfortunate, a conclusion is inevitable; Mr. Eddings was gracious enough however to leave room to continue this shining era. Sparhawk becomes the triumphant hero in the true sense of the word, he and his friends are handsomely rewarded and move on to other stories. Readers deal with many emotions, humor, suspense, grief, and ultimately a great longing for the next adventure. Until next time...

Summary: Umpossible!!
Review: You know, when you read a lot of fantasy novels like I do, you can predict what will happen. But Eddings' fantasy books are a great surprise each time. It's unbelievable how an author can maintain his talent and come up with new stories each time. Usually the author uses his past descriptions over again, but it isn't the case with Eddings. I've read The Belgariad and The Malloreon which is totally different from this series. This series is based on medievil times and it feels like Eddings takes us back to the 13th century where warriors battled with swords and axes instead of guns.
I also liked the way Eddings divides his characters in categories by their religion like Elenes and Styrics and Zemochs. (just remember, patriarch is pronounced Patriark) This book is an overall 4.5 on 5 (round to the nearest whole number), except I thought the last battle could of used more juice to it. I touch you, you die, really disappointed me. One major sad part could of had made me shed tears but I'm a guy, and its just not right for us guys to do that. (you could feel it inside, though)
Eddings has done it once again, I felt The Malloreon wasn't as good as The Belgariad so I didnt review it, I hope this isn't the case for The Tamuli. Please Goddess Aphrael, make The Tamuli as good as The Elenium!
