The Treasured One (The Dreamers, Book 2) 
The Vlagh has turned its attention from the lands of the goddess Zelana (The Elder Gods) to her brother, Veltan, ruler of the peaceful farming land around the Falls of Vash. These gentle villagers are Vlaghís obstacles as it breeds a hideous army to annihilate the world. Determined to protect his people and his lands, Omago, Veltanís human friend, works with the heroes from Zelanaís domain to raise a defense. But the gods and the humans have overlooked one person: Jalkan, an outlander, who is unleashing soldiers to corral innocent villagers and convert them to his ìreligionî of the Amar--ìthe one true god.î He covets the gold that Zelena and Veltan promised their mercenaries. And what are a few innocent deaths if they result in more gold for Jalkan and the rest of his empire?
Reviews
I don't say good but readable.
Already the very first "Pawn of the prophecy" in the Belgariad was shallow and suffered from an exceptionnaly poor characterisation.
Well, in the meantime the Donaldsons , G.R.R Martins , Eriksons , Williams and Bakkers came and showed how an original and complex fantasy with believable characters could be written.
All the while Eddings kept pouring out his stereotypical books copying more or less what he did centuries ago.
Nobody should waste time on Eddings in general and this ... book (?) in particular now when there is much, much better in the market.
I'll still read the earlier works, but am giving up on this series. I just don't have the money to waste on this one.
I started reading fantasy with Raymond E. Fiest and there was only 1 book of 15 that I did not like. Oh just so you know, when he colaborated with Janny Wurst on the Empire series, I swear he wrote only the last half of the last book, the rest sucked!. Then moved on to Elizabeth Haydon, pretty good. Kristen Britian, pretty good, she has potential if she'd realease a book every once in a while (3 years is a bit long). Then to Eddings. So far, dissapointed, but will read his earlier works and see. My husband says he's good so will follow his lead.
