‘What separates the grown-up authors from the boys is the quality of the writing and David Eddings is one of the best’
Western Mail
‘Sparhawk is the best-realized hero in modern fantasy’
Daily Telegraph
Product Description
The concluding volume of the masterful Elenium trilogy, now part of the voyager classics collection.
The jewel of life is rescued from the distant cave of troll-dwarf Ghwerig and the Queen can be saved. But in returning to the Elenia, Sparhawk and his companions risk delivering power into the hands of their enemies. The unholy triple alliance between Otha, degenerate sorcerer-king of the Zemochs, the renegade Pandion Knight Martel, and Annias, traitorous Primate of Cimmura, stands ready to seize the jewel in the name of the evil god Azash. Sparhawk calls the jewel the sapphire rose: to prevent Azash gaining dominance over the whole world, he may have to unleash its full power, but no one can predict whether the world itself would survive such an event.
This brilliant conclusion to The Elenium is fantasy on a truly epic scale which could only have been created by the greatest of modern fantasy writers – David Eddings.

This review is from: The Sapphire Rose: Book Three of the Elenium (Paperback)
really irritating again - get first in trilogy - second and third not on kindle - ridiculous - waited ages for second and then third not available - so downgrade not on book - on fact that I can't download - I bought the first - I don't expect to have to buy the rest in paperback - for goodness sake - if a trilogy and published then release all on kindle at the same time!!!

Good, but not gripping!,

I did enjoy this book, BUT...
The Sapphire Rose is a classic fantasy tale with heroic knights, evil villains and a Queen who knows her own mind. The good guys win and the bad guys lose... too easily - and that is why I've only given it 3 stars - the good guys face a challenge... and overcome it far too quickly, whilst observing that when one does "action A" we find that people usually opt for "response B". There were no moments where I felt concerned that things were going to go seriously wrong, hence I was never on the edge of my seat. For 99% of the book, the heroes seemed to hardly break a sweat (except for the one moment where it felt that something tragic had to be there). My other gripe is what I call the AI ending (the last 3/4 hour of the AI film where I wanted to gnaw my arm off). Just when you think the story is done (our hero returns...), it is not. I thought the last chapter was pointless - "everyone is a bit down, but luckily the Goddess saves the day!". This is the third and final book of the Elenium and worth reading to see the adventure through to the end, but I think when it is over, you might be left feeling a little disappointed.
