La rédemption d'Althalus #2
Les trois grimoires
Althalus est enfin sorti de la Maison au Bout du Monde ! Il a appris à lire et même à apprivoiser Émeraude, la petite féline aux yeux verts. Mais quelque deux mille cinq cents ans ont passé ! Émeraude ne lui laisse pas le temps de s'appesantir sur la question. Comme il le proclame dans son grimoire, Daeva entend toujours ramener l'univers au chaos originel... et seul Althalus peut l'en empêcher. Parce qu'il a su déchiffrer le troisième grimoire, gravé sur la lame d'un couteau, et que c'est celui d'Émeraude... la sœur des deux dieux ennemis. Voilà Althalus parti dans une nouvelle aventure pleine de rebondissements où ses talents de voleur lui seront bien utiles !

About the author
David Eddings
220 books5,560 followersDavid Eddings was an American author who wrote several best-selling series of epic fantasy novels. David Eddings' wife,
Leigh Eddings
, was an uncredited co-author on many of his early books, but he had later acknowledged that she contributed to them all.
They adopted one boy in 1966, Scott David, then two months old. They adopted a younger girl between 1966 and 1969. In 1970 the couple lost custody of both children and were each sentenced to a year in jail in separate trials after pleading guilty to 11 counts of physical child abuse. Though the nature of the abuse, the trial, and the sentencing were all extensively reported in South Dakota newspapers at the time, these details did not resurface in media coverage of the couple during their successful joint career as authors, only returning to public attention several years after both had died.
After both served their sentences, David and Leigh Eddings moved to Denver in 1971, where David found work in a grocery store.
David Eddings' first books (which were general fiction) sold moderately well. He later switched to writing epic fantasy, a field in which he achieved great success. In a recent interview with sffworld.com, he said: "I don't take orders from readers."
On January 26, 2007 it was reported that Eddings accidentally burned about a quarter of his office, next door to his house, along with his Excalibur sports car, and the original manuscripts for most of his novels. He was flushing the fuel tank of the car with water when he lit a piece of paper and threw into the puddle to test if it was still flammable.
On February 28, 2007, David Eddings' wife, Leigh Eddings (born Judith Leigh Schall), died following a series of strokes. She was 69.
David Eddings died on June 2, 2009 at the age of 77.

3,5 j'ai moins accroché que le premier tome.
La première bataille est bien, il y a du suspense mais après on se retrouve avec des longueurs à n'en plus finir.

J'ai beaucoup aimé le premier tome qui etait tres drôleet bien construit, mais le second est plus long et semble plus répétitif. Pour ceux qui ont lu la Belgariade, on peut voir beaucoup de similitudes dans l'histoire et les personnages.

Vele mensen geven aan dit een goed boek te vinden. Vond het zelf een verwarrend boek, waarbij plannen die in de ene alinea gemaakt werden al in de volgende alinea plaats gevonden had.
Het huis met de magische vensters en deuren speelt een zeer grote rol in het verhaal, en dit helpt uiteindelijk in het verslaan van Ghend.
Er is zo'n veelheid aan personages, dat het lezen van deel 1, waar de personages worden voorgesteld, een must is.
Dit is wat mij betreft een mindere fantasy-serie dan andere die ik ooit gelezen heb, en zal het zeker niet aanraden.
Apart detail is dat de hoofdstuk-nummering in dit boek gewoon verder gaat waar het bij deel 1 is gebleven.
Vervolg van De verlossing van Althalus

Fin des aventures d'Althalus, bien mené jusqu'au bout. La dualité traditionnelle bien/mal est un peu secoué étant donné que le personnage principal est loin d'être manichéen. Bon divertissement jusqu'au bout. Pas d'essouflement.
Althalus adventures end, well written till the end. The traditional duality between good/evil is a little shaken during those 2 books as the main character isn't completly honest. I really enjoyed it till the end, didn't found 1 boring page .

Whew! This is some book! Its positively surreal the way Eddings weaves the story. The environments, the characters, everything just pulled me in and kept me reading for longer than needed periods that quite often kept me up way to late on more than one occasion.

Waarschijnlijk moet je bij dit boek bij deel 1 beginnen. Vandaar dat ik ermee gestopt ben.
