Review title: David Eddings should kill himself.
Product review: I don't know when I first noticed it, but looking back at the Eddings books, the seed of rot was there from the beginning of the Tamuli. I noticed that there was less emphasis on plot, or character development. Everything seemed to have become formulated. Unfortunately the formula seemed to be: Cute Goddess that likes kisses + No plot + Lots of deus ex machina = MONEY. In fact the deus ex machina in this book and the preceding one was absolutely sickening. Even back to the Redemption of Althalus and the Tamuli. Everything is just really bad, and then the GOD waves his/her hand, and everything is okay. The actual people in the books don't do anything except make snide comments about the ones who don't have gods on their side. Sadly, I will probably buy the third book in this series, but only out of nostalgia, and I will read it with genuine remorse that a once-fine author has fallen to such an appalling low.
