This book is not yet featured on Listopia. Sep 18, Eric rated it liked it. There were four books in the Kindle series I downloaded. Prior is an imaginative author with good use of not often used vocabulary.
The Dwarf tales are violent, but there is plenty of humor tossed in. As with many series, fewer books would have accomplished the same thing. An entertaining romp through fantasy, but slow in some spots. These stories are fast-paced and reminded me of the movie The Lord of the Rings. The epic scale of the story itself drew me in until I was rooting for each character to find the courage to face their inner demons and reach their hidden potential.
Although the title suggests this is a much larger book, I would compare it to a collection of four novellas. This makes it perfect for those short periods of time when we want to be entertained, but may not have the time to devote to a larger The Good This makes it perfect for those short periods of time when we want to be entertained, but may not have the time to devote to a larger novel. The fight scenes were often more graphic than I enjoy, though not enough for me to want to stop reading.
The descriptions of gore splashing on a character, as well as descriptions of sounds and physical sensations, were enough to make me shudder. However, I must note that they were not gratuitous nor did they seem written in for the sake of shock value. My biggest disappointment was that the overall story wasn't finished at the end of the book. In order to find out what happens to the characters after the cliff hanger ending, one must purchase the next book. It reminds me of watching a soap opera rather than a good movie.

Prior is a wonderful epic-style tale with larger-than-life, flawed characters that will draw you in, but beware that you may need to buy more books if you want to find out how the story ends. Mar 10, Mommasaysread rated it it was amazing. I was sucked in so fast.
I know that if I were reading each individual book I would have had to go and get the next one right away. I promise you are going to love this book. The twists and turns that unfold are incredibly cool. The companions, all being complete opposites really play well off of each other and the authors depiction and development of their relationships is very rewarding as a reader.
I loved all of them in their own right Ilesa was one of my favorites and I definitely found myself able to relate to Silas in a sort of unsettling way, but hey I am a teenager. I have and totally will recommend this book to my friends so I recommend it to you!

As the stories progress the characters true natures are revealed as their stories are unraveled. Derek has done a wonderful job keeping the main story on point while gradually revealing the backgrounds of all the people involved. The book starts out with a lot of information and someone who is unfamiliar with the world Derek has created might struggle a bit at first. As the book progresses everything comes together beautifully and by the end I didn't want to stop reading for any reason.
I will also be checking out the next story in the series, The Ebon Staff as soon as possible to see what will happen. Review copy provided by the author. One person found this helpful. For 3 chronicles it is a short read with a lot of focus on different realms of reality that are a little hard to follow through. The characters are interesting to get to know but as soon as you can feel them developing this book is over.
The author has created a unique central character, whose behavior has been in total conflict with what he is. The Nameless Drawf is willing to endure unimaginal hardships to attain atonement, for his grave sins against his kind. This book is the head stone of life in the fast track.
It has all the action packed thrills that the reader could hope for. It's fast paced and fun. Not the best, but an enjoyable read. And now I'm typing just to fill in the required quantity of words.
The Nameless Dwarf Omnibus by D.P. Prior
The story follows an amnesic, manic-depressive dwarven warrior aptly called "Nameless" and his companions Nils a youthful and sometimes cowardly rogue , Silas a mage walking a dark path and Ilesa a shapeshifting assassin on their search for Nameless' dwarven ancestors who have fled into the shadowy Northern lands of Qlippoth. Nameless pursues his brethren in attempts to make amends for the past atrocities against his own race and save his race from eventual destruction.
In the first three installments our group unlikely companions band together and begin their search for Nameless' remaining brethren.
