I read the Belgariad when I was 10 or 11. Jessie Send a noteboard - 20/03/2011 04:14:07 AM
Have you read anything by Eddings?

Just the one series so far. While fond of it/him and one character in particular (Silk, anyone?), the books themselves tend to be a bit repetitive and simple. So I read them, enjoyed them, look back on them fondly, but never tried another.

If yes, how long ago did you (first) read it/them?

If memory serves, 12 years ago. Whooooooooa.

- Do you reread?

I haven't, but your survey has stirred up some nostalgia :P

- What's your favourite of his series?

Probably the second in the series Queen of Sorcery.

- Favourite character?

His name was Silk




I've just reread The Elenium (bought the trilogy from my charity bookshop a few weeks ago) and I loved it. It's certainly my favourite of his series. I am torn about whether I want to reread The Tamuli, though. I want character closure, but it's not very good.


You've made me curious to read The Elenium trilogy now! :P

Oh. Totally bad place to start. Rebekah - 16/03/2011 09:45:40 PM 1086 Views
No. Never cared to read it, since I rarely read epic fantasies until 13-14 years ago. *NM* Larry - 16/03/2011 09:33:52 PM 640 Views

I read one of his books when I was in about seventh grade. Panorphaeon - 17/03/2011 05:20:15 AM 1091 Views
If you're remembering sex scenes, odds are it wasn't an Eddings book. *NM* Legolas - 17/03/2011 09:51:54 PM 441 Views

I really liked the first two series but his style got really stale after that *NM* random thoughts - 17/03/2011 01:30:33 PM 455 Views
Makes sense, even though I don't agree with you. *NM* Rebekah - 18/03/2011 02:06:38 PM 457 Views
