I've worked my way through all (thanks to the "remaindered" pile). For
those with enough sticking power to have made it through to three, I

spoilt as, well, an Eddings brat character - and I shouldn't deny it to
those of hardy enough constitution.
I did like earlier Eddings. I liked the Tamuli. I reread them fairly
