I would just like to express my gratitude to David & Leigh Eddings for creating the Belgariad and the Mallorean smiley - cheers. I still remember the day when I saw the first book of the Mallorean in the bookshop and realised that the adventure wasn't oversmiley - biggrin. Well, 12 years on or whatever it is I have moved away from reading fantasy a bit, but I had an attack of nostalgia when I saw The Redemption of Althalus in the library and decided to give it a go. Unfortunately, I found there were far to many similarities between the new book and the old ones and there seemed to be something missing in the description of the world that meant I didn't get immersed and I was left feeling cold. I didn't even finish the book, which is something I have never done before.

Oh well, thank you for the memories...smiley - magic
