Title: At last - a bad book by the Eddings'
Review: I am a David (& Leigh) Eddings fan, having read just about all their work for about 20 years. But (relatively speaking) I found The Elder Gods......dull. The characters lack depth, and I had no emotional attachment to them. The fairly predictable storyline spends 80% preparing for battle - far too long. As usual the good guys fatality rate is far too low.Sadly, after so many books, the typical Eddings writing style is starting to become predictable and annoying. Instead of writing about a collection of people (mostly adults) with exceptional ability, I wish the Eddings' would include more vunerable, naive characters (e.g. a young Garion) - they can be so much fun.
