Title: What Happened?
Review: Like many of the other reviewers here, I devoured the Belgariad and the Mallorean (even the Tamuli), so when I saw that there was a new series out I got really excited and rushed out to buy the first. What a disappointment. There was none of the complexity of the previous worlds, and for "gods" these folks seems to have a pretty inconsistent level of knowledge/interest in their lands/people. I felt like I was reading dialogue of little children repeating conversations overheard from their parents (the parents in this case being Silk, and Barak, Polgara, etc.) I love the Eddings, and of course I'll buy the second, third, and fourth, despite this book, but I won't rush to put them at the top of my reading pile.
Is the review positive or negative?
