“Fabulous . . . Eddings has a marvelous storyteller style . . . exceedingly well portrayed and complex people. . . . More! More!

Wonderful start to an amazing journey! David Eddings and his wife have dreamt up a wonderful world here that I and my children visit frequently in this and the nine remaining books that follow the lives of a cluster of wonderful and varied people becoming richer and more detailed as they go, building up the world and it's many colorful varied races of men!They masterfully weave history and present, solid reality and practicality along with sorcery and witchcraft in this "classic" good vs evil story. They move beyond the "norm" tho giving us ample understanding of peoples on BOTH sides so well that you, as the reader, really care that the central characters can prevail in their tasks thereby preventing world war!And a world war is horrific enough without adding some pretty powerful magic as well on both sides!Intricate plots inside plots that unfold over the course of the series so completely that as sad as I am every time I finish it and have to say goodbye to the characters again at least the story feels well and truly finished as far as the wondering what might happen to these many people you've come to abhor, or care deeply for!So completely and well written we even come to care about some characters that we start out fearing and abhoring! :-DClever, moving, funny, terrible, fascinating, insightful, complex, ugly and beautiful, silly and wise...Eddings plumbs the depths of humanity for this epic and I can't say enough in praise of his humbly offered stories!Still some of my favorite characters after 30+ years I originally started reading this series in junior high school. Eddings created some of my favorite characters to this day. I have re-read this series at least 20 times in my life and I guarantee I'll read them again.This is not Game of Thrones but you can tell he was influenced by Tolkien. If you love a good fantasy story with great characters who will make you laugh (more times than I can count) with their dialogue bantering and a very unique use of "magic" (Will and the Word), trust me, you'll love this series.After 20 years its still a fantastic read first read this about 20 years ago when I was in middle school. I loved it then. I just picked it back up again recently and feel right back in love with the story and the characters. David Eddings is a wonderful author. And this series is amazing.
