David (and Leigh) Eddings books hold a great place in my heart. I remember reading these books when they first came out. I also remember waiting with some excitement when the new ones came out. Now it is many years since I read these. I have reread them at some point and recall thoroughly enjoying them. All the books in both series ‘The Belgariad' and ‘The Mallorian' are good.
It's funny. I am not sure if these books are as good now, but these books are an integral part of my childhood and no matter what anyone says about them, they will remain books that I personally cherish.
I think this is the book where Polgara bitches at Garion constantly. He's just a boy!
I like this series more the deeper I get into it. At first, it felt like a very standard fantasy journey with more LOTR tropes than I prefer, but it is differentiating itself more as it goes along. I'm still not in love with the pacing, but I'm pretty committed to finishing it now.
