I was not impressed by Belgariad.
I found it way too simple, naive, very young adult type fantasy.
He is a great fantasy author for kids and teenagers to get them into fantasy (10-15 years old). However, if you read him for the first time when you are older, after you have read a lot of other fantasy works then it is meh...
If I am not mistaken, The Belgariad was rebranded kid's fiction. Which suits it quite well  |
David Eddings is still kicking. It was his wife Leigh who passed away this year. She died of complications from a series of strokes in February.
