david eddings

gday all, i just found out bout david eddings novels about 2 years ago and have finished the belgariad and the mallorean series.. and as garion said bout going to miss the excitement of picking up and leaving to save the world... i think i will feel the same.. :( these characters have...

In the end of Polgara the Sorceress, there are quite some hints about Wolf being more then just a simple Wolf. Any one care to try and shed some light at that?

Hey were any of you on Prodigy in the Early 90's in the David Eddings chat room? Just curious. Thanks

Hello people. I'm new here, having recently re-read the Belgariad, which I first discovered when I was in my teens. Far too many years later, I found a dog-eared copy of Pawn of Prophecy lying around and picked it up. The inevitable happened and I had to revisit the lot. Now I'm suffering that...

Does anybody happen to know where Eddings mentions crossbows in his books to do with Belgarath's world? (most likely the belgariad/mallorean, although there may be a mention in one of the prequels) I only can remember them mentioned in Mallorea, with a barricade, but my brother insists that...

which thief do you like most talen stragen platime tel or any other post here anything to do with thieves

One of the things my family has noted is that David Eddings' major female characters are not especially likeable. They're usually spoiled, demanding, manipulative, and play a constant game of one-upmanship with the male characters. I've seen it described as a "strong female character"...

What is the source of power for the orb. I have read near all of Eddings books including 13 about the orb but can't remember how powerful the orb is. Unlike my brother, I read a book and after a few day can barely remember the major plot points. I read for the excitement. If anyone can help...

Okay then, here's the game. Point out Eddings cliches from all his books. 1. "I'm shocked at you. Shocked!" Both in Redemption of Al, and Elder Gods (multiple times) 2. "without a hint of a smile." Throughout the Elder Gods series and once in Redemption of Al. Sparhawk says something "without...

I read the Belgariad and the Molloreon about 10 years ago and really enjoyed them. Since then I,ve tried to read the Redemption of Althalus and found it very boring. I was wondering if anyone else found this and what series they would recomend from Eddings. In the last couple of years I,ve...

If someone is interested. I found this in a brochure... The attacs of the dreadful insect queen known as the Vlagh have been repelled in three of the Elder Gods' realms. Now, only the land ruled by the Goddess Aracia remains for the Vlagh to send her hordes to attac. But while the Gods, their...

Who do you prefer? Sometimes Garion can be a little slow, which is kind of endearing but also slightly infuriating! I much prefer Errand. I love the way he understands things and the way he can see into peoples hearts. Thoughts anyone?

Hi, I'm searching for a complete list of characters in The Tamuli. Does any of you have one, or know where to find one? :)

Im not sure if this is obvious to all of you too but i gotta tell you my assumptions.. Often in the books it is said that Belgarath doesn't look like any other person on earth. In some part it is even said that he looks like he is from a race that has died long ago. So if Belgarath really is...

Inspired by DD's battle of the magic users thread, what about authors who have used different magics in different settings, take eddings (as this is on his board, duh) we have: The Will and the Word, where the protagonists use the strength of their own will aided by energy drawn from around them...

i just want to know what every ones favorite eddings book is because ive only read half of them and i was just wandering if i have somrthing to look forward to if i dont im still going to read them all to satisfy my intrigue:confused:

I have been meandering through this site and finaly had to join just so I could post this message. It disheartens me to see so many people who are unhappy with the Eddings' newer works. I have repeatedly read that "the books are all the same with only new names for the characters." Perhaps I am...

My Library has a poor selection of this author. I recently read The Redemption of Althalus and there were aspects to this story that I really enjoyed but Althalus himself was not one of those aspects. Rahl

I've been re-reading the belgarid and mallorean series, and enjoying them imensly, i now however find myself very reluctant to reread belgarath the sorcerer or polgara the sorceress. Is this where he began to repeat himself so desparatly? I must say, the description of belgarath as written from...

I was recently given a collection of some eddings books from someone who picked them up at a garage sale. None of the series were complete, and I am just wondering? It looks like his books are all connected in some way. Is it important to read any particular series first, then continue...
