Title: tedium at its most tedious, repetition as its most repetitious
Review: This series has all the nuance of an episode of Scooby Doo.'Epic' fantasy this is not. In fact this hardly qualifies as light entertainment. The sitcom-variety light banter and unfunny jokes that repeat endlessly are enough to numb your mind into a slumber at best, at worst it will have you feeling remorse for the time you spent reading this. Cardboard-cutout characters, paper-thin plotting, and endless insults to his readers intelligence makes this Eddings at his worst. It's no wonder he started on a new series before even finishing this one. I would have too, there just isn't anything left in this one and it's painfully obvious by the beginning of the second volume that it is going nowhere.
