whats the deal with the rivan codex, belgarath and polgara, are they worht reading even if i've read the belgariad and the malloreon?
belgarath and polgara are nice since they give 2 views on the history of the world
rivan codex is basically just his ideas behind the story. not worth reading if you're easily pissed off at commercialism!

Do what now?
also, I've started the Eddings' newest series, and it's a steaming pile of poo.... they just can't make new characters, and it reads like "Baby's First Fantasy Primer"

Technically, that was The Belgarion. Which is mainly why I quickly got tired of him. His style never evolved past that.

you talking about "the tamuli"? i've not read any of em
The Dreamers.
and if anything his style has degraded. he's repeating the plot points over and over and over more than he's ever done before, and his characters are getting more anacronistic (sp?). Stone-age people talking about economies, etc.

ok so i'm about 150 pages into the very last book, and oh my god, literally every other page contains "he stole a <whatever>"
"stole"
"that's what you did, isn't it?"
"yes, but "steal" is such a harsh word, how about "borrowing""
"but anyway, we were spying..."
"spying?"
"that's what we were doing, wasn't it?"
"yes, but "spying" has such an impolite ring to it, i prefer "inquiring""
"as i was saying, we wrote a story"
"wrote?"
"that's what we were doing, wasn't it?"
"well, yes, but "wrote" has such a proffesional ring to it, i like "repeated this same ******* dialog over and over again"
apart from that, i love it, i will come and spoil the end for everyone else as soon as i have finished
