The Fate Of The Dwarves: Book 4

Product Information

In the final installment of this spectacular fantasy epic, the greatest of the dwarves' adventures begins . I have the first 4 books thinking that's all there is to the series (I only read the first one so far), so now I don't know if I need also the 5th book to read the conclusion of the story. In his right hand he held a weapon that was a legend in Girdlegard and the Outer Lands alike, black as the blackest shadow and longer than a human arm. Goda found it well-nigh impossible to tear herself away from the artifact, but was dragged along by her colleagues. The artifact had not objected to its keeper no longer being a virgin, as long as her soul was still pure.

So many amazing things in the book are not used properly, if at all, and the book leaves a heap of explanations to be missed, to which the author lazily excused himself with the comment "I dont like the traditional endings" bull. Then a huge pale claw, as broad as three castle gates, appeared out of the shadows, and gave a thundering blow to the sphere, producing a dull echo. Built by dwarves, undergroundlings, ubariu and humans, the four walls of the fortress formed a square thirty paces high and, at the widest points, over fifteen paces thick round the Black Abyss. The ubariu warriors kept pace with them, even though they could easily have covered the distance much more swiftly than the dwarves.It is in this way that I think the book excels, several of the newly introduced characters have really been kicked up a gear, most notable was the descendant of the Great Rodario; Rodario the Seventh. The cooperation of the various participators had ensured the creation of something unique, even if the dwarves’ contribution had been the greatest part.

There has been no word from the courageous warrior Tungdil since the bitter struggle that took place at the Black Abyss. If you are a fan of the series I think you will enjoy the story, but be warned there might be more questions unanswered than answered. While being no less cocky than his progenitor, he is smart, capable, ruthless and just as confused by women as the rest of us men.With a brilliant flash and an ear-splitting detonation the diamond burst apart, the force of the explosion bringing the whole structure down. For the first time you could smell the land on the other side without the stupid filter: Flesh, iron, dust, stone—the smells of excitingly different things in your nose.

The Abyss is a constant in the story but the author really fails to exploit this mine of possibility. The metal circles showed runes, signs, notches and marks; horizontal reinforcements connected to the central point where there was a fixture decorated with symbols. Shouts were heard, strong arms moved chains and pulley ropes to set the heavy cogs in motion to open the main door.These elements had the making of a truly exceptional character unlike the Tungdil of old and one I would have loved to read about again.

He studied history, German language and literature, and won the German Fantasy Award in 2003 for his debut novel Shadows Over UlldartHis Dwarves series is a bestseller across the Continent. As a reader you don't feel connected to the story, it's more like watching the extra at the back of the Star Trek scene who just follows Kirk, Spock and McCoy about and dies after 5 minutes.

The warriors formed a wall of bodies, iron and shields, their lances pointing forward like so many defensive tentacles. Dragons, magicians, and the malevolent älfar have advanced far into the kingdom of Girdlegard, ruthlessly seizing vast areas of land. The wind carried an unbelievable stink over to her, a mixture of excrement, stale blood and sour milk.
