Domes of Fire (The Tamuli Trilogy, Book 1)

Begins a new David Eddings trilogy, set a few years after the events of The Elenium! At the conclusion of The Elenium the company of Pandion Knights led by Sir Sparhawk, having freed Queen Ehlana of Elenia from the spell which threatened her life, had marched on Zemoch, routed their enemies and defeated or destroyed the evil god Azash. Sparhawk returned to Elenia, where he and Ehlana were married. But their peaceful reign is destined not to last long. A few years later, in the Tamul Empire far to the east, unrest is brewing which threatens the nation's stability. Investigations show that the trouble is clearly of paranormal origin, and suspicion at first falls upon the Styrics. These suspicions prove unfounded, and indeed it is the pre-eminent Styric magician Zalasta who suggests that the Empire look westwards for assistance in solving their problems! specifically, to the legendary warrior Sparhawk.

Compared with what I've read in the recent past, this is a great piece of fantasy. Since I read quite a lot of YA-fantasy lately, I was getting quite sick of it, especially the love triangles.

Domes of Fire has mature main characters, not too much of romance but is humorous. I also quite liked Eddings' writing style and the narrator's style of reading the book.

It might have been preferable to start with the series that precedes this, but although I didn't do that, I could follow the story perfectly well (but I think I might have enjoyed it even more, had I known more about the references to the first series given here). I'll probably read the first series one day and I'll certainly continue this.
