Wow. Why am I only reading these now? Any other fans out there? I'm on book two of the Mallorean. Love it!

Ah, the series where every single character has the same 'dry, ironic' sense of humour?

I loved the first series but gave up part way through the Mallorean series because it became so repetitive.

Signing in as a fan!

Loved Polgara etc after the end of the Mallorean - not so keen on the latest series.

The Belgariad and the Malloreon are both very enjoyable, but Eddings goes downhill after that and gets quite repetitive, I'm afraid.

I do rate him for being the author who made humour permissible in heroic fantasy - before that everything was so po-faced and sober it was dreadful...
