Polgara the Sorceress | David Eddings, Leigh Eddings

I'm enjoying Polgara's story. Somehow, though they're (the Eddings) rehashing the events for the third time, they've managed to keep a fresh perspective. I did, in the early chapters, get a bit fed-up with the 'twin-speak' between Beldaran and her though, conversely, Beltira and Belkira are now quite loquacious. I still find the Poledra angle a bit puzzling; I think they sort of resurrected her in hindsight at the end of the Mallorean.

humouress I don‘t see much progress in development in this world over the centuries, apart from minor details like moving to stone from logs as building materials. And I‘m not a fan of the excessive formality of Arendish speech nor the Eddings‘ version of brogue that we have to endure - though those are incidental quibbles. 10mo
humouress I think the tone of this book is subtly different from the others in the series; Polgara is a touch more ruthless than we've seen her (or any of the other characters) before. And there's a bit more emphasis on girl-power (not that that was missing before). There are a few instances that have me trying to remember if we knew something at the time of the Belgariad or only discovered it when we started the Malloreon. (edited) 10mo

I don‘t know if you can tell.. but this is my comfort book. I am drowning in my reading slump and needed this. However, the use of defenestrated in a sentence always has me running for google definitions. (It means to throw someone out of a window)

I don‘t actually have a favourite book 😱😳😬 I rarely re-read anything & even in the few of those that I have are not what I‘d consider favourites.

This book would be the closest to a favourite I guess. Read it so many times I actually replaced it & bought the rest of the series. I‘ve read The Rivan Codex & The Belgariad as well.

The Redemption of Althalus | David Eddings, Leigh Eddings
post image

Thanks for the tag @Mitch
@Lollymya
The only book I can think of right now. One of my first fantasy reads. What stuck with me in this one is how Athalus wants to steal from a rich merchant and all he finds is a strongbox full of brightly coloured rectangular papers. At the pub the next evening everyone laughs at the thief who didn't take the money! Athalus just didn't know about paper money 😂
Want to play @LittleBug @Moonprismpower ?

Moonprismpower I‘ll play! I‘ll post tomorrow and I‘ll tag you. Thanks! 4y

My #blackcat Minerva with a book that features “a very dark cat, almost black”. Althalus calls her Emerald, or Emmy for short. #ScreamathonPhotoChallenge @4thhouseontheleft

If you haven‘t read this set (or any of his others) then you haven‘t really lived. One of my favorite authors of fantasy

readingjedi It's probably 25 years since I read this series & I still love it! Time for a reread maybe.... 6y
