I had much the same reaction as you did with QoS. It was fun, but only as long as you didn't think too much about it. The one thing QoS has in it's favour is the introduction of Ce'Nedra, who is probably my favourite Eddings character.Elfyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09955473789404631382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8463395374040679379.post-54060818702684315722011-08-05T16:57:13.003+01:002011-08-05T16:57:13.003+01:00Heh.

In 2008, I had just come off my first read through books 1-6 of the <i>Malazan Book of the Fallen</i>, and was stumped over what to read next before I did my first MBotF reread. My wife recommended <i>The Belgariad</i>. :) I ground it out but, man, did I hate those books. Partially because the comparison to Erikson is vastly unfavorable to Eddings, but also because, although I was at the time still a relative fantasy newbie, I had already sampled and loved the darker, heavier, less-traditional fare like Erikson and Stephen R. Donaldson.<br /><br />I bet if I had read these when I was 10 (probably around the time I first read LotR) I would have loved them, or at the very least enjoyed them.Salt-Man Zhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07042401821387954296noreply@blogger.com
