Editorial Reviews

From Publishers Weekly

Sir Sparhawk and his companions seek the Bhelliom, an antidote to a rare poison administered to Elenia's queen. "Eddings's delightful style propels the reader along a well-crafted and carefully unfolding course, and even through the few places he falls back on cliches of the genre," said PW.
Copyright 1991 Reed Business Information, Inc.

From Library Journal

The Pandion knight Sparhawk and his companions continue their quest for the Bhelliom, the legendary jewel whose power alone can save a dying queen. Eddings's strength lies in his ability to create thoroughly likable heroes with personalities that transcend the formulaic fantasy genre. Graceful prose and judicious humor add style to this excellent addition to fantasy collections. Recommended.

4.0 out of 5 stars "Middle-child syndrome", June 3, 2004
By Ashley Megan "amazonfox" (Vernon, CT United States) - See all my reviews
  
Unfortunately, the "middle child" syndrome continues its time-honored tradition here. Although there is some action, for the most part "Ruby Knight" is a place-keeper, marking the time between when Sparhawk figures out what he has to do and finally does it.
At the end of "Diamond Throne", it was revealed that the only thing that would save Queen Ehlana was the Bhelliom, a legendary sapphire of enormous power. Once it was a part of the Royal Crown of Thalesia, but was lost during the monumental Zemoch War several centuries earlier. Now Sparhawk has to track it down, dig it up, learn how to control it, and get it back to Ehlana, before the spell preserving her life fails, and those of his friends who are supporting the spell die with it.
So Sparhawk and Co. trek across the continent, fighting a few battles, meeting a few characters (some of whom will become important later, so pay attention), avoiding the Bad Guys (as led by Annias, the churchman who's seized control of Ehlana's kingdom and is looking to take over the Church as well, and Martel, Sparhawk's nemesis) and learning much more than they planned about the REAL history of their world. We finally find out what the heck is the deal with Flute, the Styric orphan Sephrenia adopts, but as I said, this book mostly exists to keep Books 1 and 3 from bumping into each other.

5.0 out of 5 stars Absolutely Addictive!, March 29, 1998
By Joanne Garcia "reader, knitter, mom" (Massapequa, Ny United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
In his sequel to The Diamond Throne, Eddings spends more time developing the characters as well as taking the reader on a whirlwind quest for Bhelliom. This book was one that I couldn't put down. I took it everywhere with me and read it until it was DONE. It left me wanting more. I recommend it to all you fantasy readers out there. I liked it much more than The Diamond Throne!

5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful, October 8, 2003
By Gustavo (Buenos Aires, Argentina) - See all my reviews
When I first buy this book (I didn't even know it was the second part), I felt transported to that magical age where magic, knights and religion is a common thing. Since this book I statarted to buy a lot Edding's books and I should say I'm full of happyness with his way of writting and the way he tolds stories. There is no other way to explain his wonderful work.

Loved it. Eddings keeps his plot moving along @ a good pace. Invested in 1st bk. & had to continue w/all bks. in this series. Recommend this Eddings series to all.

The way Eddings brings the characters to life is superb. He has an enthralling way of keeping you up late with his 'can't put this book down' style of writing. Read more
