The Tamuli: Domes of Fire - The Shining Ones - The Hidden City

All three books in the trilogy in one oversized book. GREAT author and series. Just wish the format was more apparent from the description. A must for any fantasy fan. If this introduces you to David and Leigh Eddings you owe me!Update a couple of years later:Ya want a good laugh? Go look at the reviews of Goodreads where they pan it! I'd love to find out what they're reading that's any better. Guess I belong over here with the more main-stream "pedestrian" tastes of folks on Amazon. I wish I could be as snobby and smart as those folks. Oh well, back the Sparthawk!

This is a modern pulp printing. They combined three books into one binding: it is heavy and awkward to hold. But compared to buying the hardcovers or soft-covers; it is well worth the cost difference. The print is easily readable. The paper although lower quality is more than adequate. The series itself is my favorite work by one of my favorite authors. I wore out my softcovers of this series. Unfortunately at this time, much of David Eddings' catalogue is unavailable on kindle. This is the next best option IMO.

I LOVE these novels by David & Leigh Eddings. The Elenium abs Tamuli trilogies are his best work. That said, this omnibus edition stinks. The three books together are so long that they had to use a smaller typeface to get them ask in one volume and it’s still over 1000 pages. I had to read it in very good lighting. That combined with the size made it a bit unpleasant and impossible to read in bed

If you like Eddings this is for you.

Loved the characters . Hated that the story had to end.

A partial collection of 3 of the 5 original books of the Mallorean, the second series following a young man, Garion, who goes from a peasant to a king and Overlord, Belgarian. He then in this second series we follow him as he frantically searches the world for his son. Eddings is a great author who gives great imagery, without wallowing in it, so it is as if you are there with the travelers. I suggest reading the first series (also 5 books - The Belgariad) to get to know the young man Belgarian. I've read these books at least 5 times, once aloud to my son - and my husband!

More so than the original books, these have not aged well in terms of content and themes but they were a large part of my high school reading and I still love them for what they were, reminders of better and carefree days of summer.

I fell in love with David Eddings' work in high school. His books are written almost tongue-in-cheek, and there's a sly wit to his stories. Having devoured the Belgariad and Mallorean, I chewed through the Elenium and Talmuli rather quickly. Unfortunately, paperbacks have a way of finding themselves lost when they have been loaned out too many times, and I was missing several of the individual books of the story of Sir Sparhawk. I LOVE having the trilogy in one binding. Granted, it's not as durable as a hardbound book, but it IS nicely packaged in one edition. So far, the binding glue seems durable, which is a nice change from some of the Del Rey books I have purchased in the past. I have been reading David Eddings' works for almost twenty years now, and his books are worth the time to read and re-read.

While I bought this omnibus as a replacement since my copy of The Shining Ones got damaged, I'm less than impressed with the quality of this book. Not only does it feel very flimsy, even taking into account it is a paperback, I can read the page behind each page because of the thinness of the paper in the printing.Its a fantastic series, far better than the Belgarion sagas as its written much tighter with less stuff that just feels like filler in comparison, this particular version seems lacklustre in terms of product quality as opposed to the actual content so I have to settle for the middle ground of 3 stars.

Just getting a new version to make up the series on my bookshelves. An old favourite. Always good value, actually read the books years ago when they first came out. Supplier was prompt and reliable, item as expected and in good quality.

The Tamuli begins shortly after The Elenium ends and it is the crown jewel of all David Eddings' works. Follow Sparhawk as he uncovers his destiny - the man without a destiny - through an incredible tapestry of events involving ancient enemies, dear friends, loves, betrayals, and implacable gods. Spanning events that cross oceans, deserts and mountains, from glorious city palaces with all their intrigues to the dens of thieves and cutthroats, this is a story that will bring you to tears and joyous laughter - maybe even to your feet as you soar with satisfaction as evils reap their own rewards. This is Eddings at his very finest.

Love this story and wanted the complete collection all in one book.

Especially enjoyed the author's sense of humour. Of course the plot was excellent.
