Synopsis

Richly imaginative, this fantasy will take you to the brink of the end of the world as gods fight demons and monsters for the right to rule -- and their lives.
While most continents float freely on the face of Mother Sea, the Land of Dhrall survives anchored by the will of the Gods. All Gods, Elder and Younger, share the people and the land of Dhrall equally. But the one place they never enter is The Wasteland: a barren and hideous wilderness ruled by the Vlagh -- a god-like creature whose young are evil spawn.

Now, as the Elder Gods are about to transfer their power to the Younger Gods, the Vlagh plans to take advantage of their weakened state and neutralize them, eventually conquering the world. To do so, it is breeding a terrible force borne of monsters and demons. But one ray of hope shines through the darkness: four children called the Dreamers. They alone hold the power to change the course of history . . . and stop the Vlagh in its quest for total world domination.

Want a fantasy epic without dwarfs, elves and orcs? A threat that doesn't involve dragons or dark lords? Want also a witty writing style that'll glue you to the pages? That's the Eddings. That's The Dreamers series! For a long time I looked for fantasy stories that weren't Lord of the Rings clones. T......more

the eddings' nuances that made their cute appearance in the belgariad and the malloreon return, but with less appeal and can be downright tiresome a bit repetitive, too still, i'm down to the duo's last three books and would like to finish p266: longbow had been standing off to one side, listening but......more

Goodreads review by Ash on February 21, 2017

I really enjoyed this book. It wasn't compacted heavily with pages upon pages of description and exposition when it really could've been. I found that it was very easy to read. This book is kind of an adventure book whereas you travel a lot of the time. There are a few elements of this book - such as......more
