Crystal Gorge by Leigh Eddings, David Eddings
4.0
3 ½ Stars
Crystal Gorge is the third book in The Dreamers Series by David Eddings. This series takes place in a new ‘universe’, but the stories feel a lot like Mr. Eddings other books but are my least favourite of his stories.
I did enjoy the books, but for me they don’t feel quite as epic as his other reads. These books were a little slow in places, and I found it hard to ‘get into’ the stories- in comparison to his other works. Some of the books, especially the first book, feel way too long- and would have worked just as well, if not better, if they had been shortened. There was a lot of dialogue, and a lot of repeated information, which was frustrating and slowed down the flow of the story/stories.
The world building though, was really well done, as expected from Mr. Eddings. The fantasy and adventure was fun- if not a little corny and cheesy in parts.
This is a story of Gods, Monsters, and humans- and even though I have rated it lower than his other work, it is still worth the read for a true fantasy lover.
The Dreamers Series Books are:
-The Elder Gods (Book #1)
-The Treasured One (Book #2)
-Crystal Gorge (Book #3)
-The Younger Gods (Book #4)
Happy Reading!
