Ross (3284 KP) rated The War of the Dwarves in Books
Feb 20, 2018
The follow-up to the first Dwarves book sees the dwarves again join forces with the humans and now join forces with their age old enemies the elves to battle against a new source of evil.
There is a lot packed into this book with a number of stand-offs against the evil thirdling dwarves, the evil elves and an invading force from the Outer Lands.
For me at times it felt like the story was being made up on the spot with the overarching plot changing a number of times to suit the author's mood. At one point the feared enemy in the West was just a hoax by the thirdlings then it was real etc etc. There were still some good action scenes but these were in the minority here as so much of the book was taken up with politics and intrigue.
Something of a comedown from the first in the series.

While I was younger I loved this book but as I got older I found that the writing was not great but it still has a great story
The epic story of Bilbo Baggins was great when ideas a kid as who wouldn't love a quest with dragon dwarves and elves. As I got older I found that the writing wasn't great but I still loved the story and all that it entails

Variety of environments
It takes a couple episodes to get rolling, but this show is probably Jonah's best work. His character is schizophrenic, and along with Emma Stone, a defensive girl with a foul mouth, he undergoes a drug trial featuring elves, criminal networks, and animal smuggling to make the world a happier place, because we confront our own issues best when elaborate setups are involved.

Perfection
We get to see more of the eagle race. We get an amazing war scene. There will be rivers of tears flowing. And this is the end. When realization hits, it hits hard. No more lembas, dragons, beautiful elves, partying dwarves, and all the other races that you thought you didn't need in your life, but turned out that you did. And the ending of this movie adds more pain.

My first Dragon love
These are as traditional as epic fantasy gets. If you want to see every trope fantasy has to offer, this is the series for you. This is the very beginning of a world that includes generations of characters, side books to explore the origins of favorite characters and races, role playing games, podcasts, a rich history of world building, gods and magic, dragons and orcs, Dwarfs and elves and other things.
