Title: Please, no more ..
Product review: I have this very strong urge to read everything connected with the Bel/Mal series, but this last book spoiled the pleasure I experienced reading the Belgariad. I'm thoroughly bored by Polgara, who seems to know what's good for everyone. Knowing what she was like as a teenager was totally unbelievable to me. I've started rereading the Bel/Mal series and this last book has managed to spoil those for me. I've come to the conclusion that the best part of ALL these books is the first page of the first book: the smells in Faldor's kitchen. What's beginning to irritate more and more are the female characters, they are flat as (rice)paper. They seem to develop or change but three books later they still react in the same smug manner. So that's why I say: "no more". I want to keep some of the pleasure I felt reading it the first time. (Apoligies if my English isn't quite good, my milklanguage is Dutch)
