Narrative Supposing Books The Dwarves (Die Zwerge #1)
For countless millennia, no man or beast has ever succeeded in breaching the stone gateway into Girdlegard. Until now... Abandoned as a child, Tungdil the blacksmith is the only dwarf in a kingdom of men. But when he is sent out into the world to deliver a message and reacquaint himself with his people, the young foundling finds himself thrust into a battle for which he has not been trained. Not only his own safety, but the life of every man, woman and child in Girdlegard depends upon his ability to embrace his heritage. Although he has many unanswered questions, Tungdil is certain of one thing: no matter where he was raised, he is a true dwarf. And no one has ever questioned the courage of the Dwarves.

The best review I can give is that my 17 year old son spent his own money to buy the first three books (in hard cover), read them and encouraged his friends to read them. I just had to read them myself and found myself enjoying them. Let the author speak for himself."Death came for the dwarf and tried to take him, whereupon the warrior squared his shoulders, dug his heels against the granite floor, and told him to go. Death turned around and left. - Apologue from the southern provinces ofThis was such an easy read. Its your standard fantasy fair, very Tolkienesk, but the focus is on dwarves. The main character is your typical fantasy young man, kinda like your farmboy, however in this case hes a dwarve. The action is old school fantasy light, reminds me of a middld of the range D&D novel. The plotting is fun but predictable and the world buidling is a bit simple but has a german European twist to it. Probably reccomend for people eho arent big fans of fantasy as its very
This book reminded me of a role playing game. Character gets assigned quest and sets off --> when character arrives at destination he finds out that the quest completion parameters have been amended and that he has to continue to new destination, where more or less the same thing happens. Along the way the character collects items and learns skills, he also meets other characters with different skills and some of these join up with him, creating a "party". In the end, the items and characters

I could not take it any more. I am taking some advice and I am not going to finish this book even though I REALLY tried. I started this book in August and have taken breaks from it 4 or 5 times. I wanted this book to be good, but its way too simple. The plot is very simple and predictable. The characters are Tolken templates and are not very interesting. At times it seemed the dialogue between the dwarven characters in this book came straight from 6yr old boys who were having a make a believe
Once I managed to trudge through the first 100 or so pages, (which are a bit of a massive yawn) things really started to pick up and I began to really enjoy the book. The writing isn't particularly stellar, but it flows nicely and it's the characters that spurred me on to continue reading. The core characters I really fell in love with. It would be interesting to read it in it's original german. I am one of those people who can't help but think anything that is translated might lose a bit of
I really didn't enjoy this nearly got too 100 pages and the dialogue is just awful in places and sounds more like a Disney film at times then a proper fantasy book.Characters are dull and plot is full of so many holes and inconstant.Not for me, I'm really having a bad year with fantasy books :(
This book can be described as a badly written spin off of LOTR where the attention has been shifted from elves and humans to dwarves. Being a fan of fantasy it is rare for me to rate a book 1 star but I didn't find anything here that made me think of giving it anything more.Writing is one of the main flaws of this book (among others) I dont know if its the translators fault or the original authors but the writing is too simple and unappealing. Its like a kid wrote this for his high school
