The Treasured One by Eddings

The Treasured One by David and Leigh Eddings, The Dreamers Book 2. I know some people hate that the books are 'too similar' to the other series that the Eddings have written but this one is actually quite different, especially in the way that it is written. Each part seems to take on a different character's perspective and in the case of some deals with some issues in the past that have meaning to the events taking place. It took a little while getting used to but once longbow had his turn I was loving the new style. Okay so you've read Eldar Gods and how Zelana's Domain was saved but this time the Vlaugh is going for Veltan's sleepy farming Domain, who have never had any need for weapons at all apart from sling shots to scare off wolves. So Sorgan, Narasan, Longbow and co travel over to Veltan's Domain to the falls of Vash to stop the snake men from invading the land. But they have evolved, learning new tatics and not only that but another army is fast traveeling up the coast in the search of gold and Veltan's 'army' seems stuck in the middle.
I STILL adore Longbow, though Veltan is still up there in the favourites list (along with Torl too) and I loved the new style and the fact that the enemy evolves is a good thing that way things don't get too much the same. Though the 'nice boy' appears twice in this book and who said it the second time had me in stitches :) And Zelana and Longbow? Poor Man, he's not got a chance.
