Title: Disappointing to say the least
Product review: This, and I say this as a fan of David Edding's work, is one of the worst books i've ever read.Why?I think it was the tone that annoyed me that most. As a narrator Polgara comes across as very patronising and just a bit smug and she seems to spend most of the book putting the world to rights because, you know, she's just so much cleverer than everyone else.Sorting out warring nations by treating their leaders like naughty children and telling them to behave (and i'm not taking the mick here, that is pretty much what she does) does not make for a riveting read.Another problem is that because this story is trying to encompass however many thousands of years it was between Polgara and Garion's births everything is very rushed and in places it reads more like synopsis of a story that a story itsef. Supporting characters come and go I couldn't of cared less about any of them as they get no characterization at all.Not recommended
