Title: Painful to Read
Review: I have always thought David Eddings was the best fantasy writer ever and would vehemently argue this point with everyone. I bought the second two books of this series with the expectation each time that they would be better than the first. I was extremely disappointed. I don't believe Eddings wrote these books! The writing style is awkward and the chapters don't flow well. Also, enough with the cute little phrases "without a hint of a smile" or "with a faint smile" or "with a broad grin" or "so beat me", which all seem to be painfully misplaced! The story line is great, but the writing style makes the book(s) difficult to read. In fact, the books are so awful that I doubt that I'll ever buy another Eddings book. My advice -- if you must buy it, wait for the paperback.
