But, False Idols does not rely on humour to carry it. It instead focuses on character development, a far better story and world building. So, False Idols is literally three steps forward and one step back. The main characters - all of them - have moment Whew!
The main characters - all of them - have moments where they are challenged, question their world view and then move forward. The story has twists and turn and, though a mite predictable, is still fresh. We see a lot more of the world. In fact, barring a single chapter, nothing happens in Kondorra. We see more Dragons. And the action is great. Which brings me to the beginning of the review. The ending is going to blow your mind at least a little. So, in conclusion, while I am bit sad that the balls-crazy humour is no longer so strong in False Idols, it is still one of the best and 'funnest' books around.
Jul 10, Jennifer bunnyreads rated it it was amazing Shelves: This book improves upon those issues with pacing, rounds out the characters and is still fun as hell. The story pick So much fun. Quirk is busy being a VIP instead of getting to study and lecture about Dragons. Lette was bored to tears being a farmer with Will. Also Balur and Lette together are pure gold-they make me laugh so much.
Will is trying to get over Lette leaving him. I love how he tries to keep Lette and Balur on the straight and narrow, and I love his never-ending plans and how affronted he gets when everyone does bad shit. And Firkin is still drunk. So the Dragons are on the rise again. What follows is more fun adventure, crass and dark at times humor, madcap plans- some succeeding better than they expected and some going down the toilet, and some hilarious conversations as the team bickers their way through trying to raise an army to keep the dragons from winning.
This whole thing was such a blast! If you are looking for crazy shenanigans, a little bit of gore, dark humor and language somewhere in the vicinity of a Samuel L Jackson interview, then this book is right where you want to be. Aug 14, Iain Garland rated it it was amazing. Even better than Fools Gold, this one. The book starts at a decent slower pace to remind you who each of the characters are, serving both those who have waited 12 months for this 2nd book in the series, as well as anyone new to the Dragon Lords books although if that's you, you should really be reading Fools Gold first even though this book doesn't insist on it but after a few chapters the action ramps up and barely takes a breath for the following pages.
I've read books before that have b Even better than Fools Gold, this one. I've read books before that have been all action and they've become a bit tiresome, but False Idols manages to feel exciting without that level of tedium you'd often get. Even the slower sections without fighting have a level of excitement to them, whether that's the relationship between the characters which takes an awesome twist towards the end or the build up of a new plan to defeat the dragons, I constantly felt desperate to turn the page and find out what came next.
If you've been with Will, Lette and co since the start then there's little chance you'll get through this without some kind of emotional turmoil, such is the way the characters come to be so likeable, and that's another key reason why I found it so incredibly difficult to put this down. If you've read and liked Fools Gold then you need to read this as soon as possible.
The Dragon Lords series is poised to become one of my favourite ever fantasy series, and with the book's ending lending itself to an epic third story it's going to be a long 12 months before we find out what comes next. Sep 10, Vinay Badri rated it really liked it Shelves: A messy, chaotic, bursting at the seams book that somehow makes to work all the humor, and silliness work amidst a mad cap plot that gets darker towards the end My review of this book will be quite similar to that of the last one - its fun, silly, crass and a total hoot. However, it does tend of get exhausting after a while which quite wasnt how book 1 turned out to be.
But it still is oodles of fun - just tempered with the fact that we kind of have a middle book syndrome Like Guardians of the Gal A messy, chaotic, bursting at the seams book that somehow makes to work all the humor, and silliness work amidst a mad cap plot that gets darker towards the end My review of this book will be quite similar to that of the last one - its fun, silly, crass and a total hoot. But it still is oodles of fun - just tempered with the fact that we kind of have a middle book syndrome Like Guardians of the Galaxy 2, the 2nd part isnt quite as nimble and there are stretches that deal with relationship issues and daddy issues.
Plus now there be dragons in bigger numbers with greater ambitions. And then there are Gods. Gosh, your head starts aching when you try to put them in a plot - and best to do is to continue to read and just go with the flow Yes, I am typing this review like Balur who is quite like Drax in a lot of things There is never a dull moment which is a credit to the book but its sheer length and the pressure to keep the wisecracks going does make it exhausting.
The end twist in some ways was coming but does leave the book and our characters in an interesting situation for the next one.

Also, hidden within is an examination of the god phenomenon - did man create god or viceversa Dec 24, Ashley rated it it was amazing Shelves: Listening to this book is a pleasure and a joy. It's a remarkably funny read that regularly had me laughing out loud. The audio narration by Jon Banks is superb with distinct and well acted voices for each characters. He doesn't simply read the book but truly performs it. Jun 13, Beth Meade rated it really liked it. Really looking forward to the final book. It's nice to read fantasy with humor again. Jun 13, Bookwarrior rated it it was amazing Shelves: This is perfect, everyone should read this.
It is hilarious and has a great story! Aug 11, Mike Fluture rated it it was amazing. Such a good follow up. Can't wait for the next! Jun 06, Lindsey Roberts rated it it was amazing. I adored the first book and knew I had to read the second. Will has tried to live a quiet life as a farmer with his new-found riches.

But when Lette takes off and Balur comes searching for her, Will has no choice but to hit the road again. They are up against soldiers, fanatics and fanatical soldiers. No one wants to hear that the dragons are dangerous but Will is desperate — and when Will loses his temper, drastic plans come to light. Quirke has her own problems.
Being driven from her home and accidentally becoming the leader of a resistance movement, for starters.
Her internal battle over whether to burn the world or save it being another problem. When the gang join forces and stumble upon Firkin, they might just have a chance to defeat the dragons. After all, this team did it before, and they can do it again. Lette is determined to become a better person; Quirke tries not to give into her magic; Balur wants to kill things; Will just wants to be a farmer and Firkin may or may not be possessed.
The team are well and truly back together and I love the characterisations and relationships that develop as the book goes on. But that makes it sound so serious: There are impossible odds, tension, blood, guts and gore… and the way the narration unfolds, especially with how the characters react to situations, just leaves you giggling. The dialogue adds the humour to the book. The content, dialogue and situations are aimed at adults, but there are very few fantasy books for an adult audience that make me laugh throughout. Pure entertainment from beginning to end. Haben sie aber nicht.
Ein wenig Action ist hier aber auch vorhanden, alles in einer mehr oder wenigen guten Mischung, im Vordergrund steht hier der Humor, aber das ist nur mein Empfinden. Lasst euch davon bitte nicht abschrecken, diese Geschichte zu lesen. Die bildliche Darstellung finde ich gut und da ich sehr viel Fantasie habe, konnte ich mir das alles doch sehr gut vorstellen.
Buy for others
Doch auch hier finde ich einiges sehr abgefahren und lustig. Auch dort ging es wohl sehr abgefahren und skurril vonstatten. Ich werde mir auf jeden Fall Band 1 noch zulegen und wenn etwas Zeit verstrichen ist sie beide noch einmal lesen. Ich gebe hier 4 von 5 Sternen, aber auch nur weil ich mir was anderes darunter vorgestellt habe.
Sep 18, Chris Evans rated it really liked it Shelves: This book starts off pretty much how you'd expect given the personalities of the Dragon Slayer gang and what they were supposedly going to do. What follows is pretty much a plot I'm supersized Terry Pratchett didn't try given their deity systems are so similar. The Last Hero and Small Gods kind of touch upon it, as well as witches abroad, but nothing on this level.
So, as the cover of the book shows, dragons have returned, this time a whole squadron of them and they plan on stealing the worship This book starts off pretty much how you'd expect given the personalities of the Dragon Slayer gang and what they were supposedly going to do. So, as the cover of the book shows, dragons have returned, this time a whole squadron of them and they plan on stealing the worship of the goods and taking their place. Hollins went from tying everything up with a nice happy ending bow at the end of the first book to that?
