| | David Eddings Overrated |
 | | The background story was so convoluted it truly seemed it like it was convoluted for the sake of convolutedness, and ironically, for a saga with such a complex, tortuous background, the language of the rest of the book was mind-dullingly plain, even predictable. |
 | | Basically the only reason why I continue to read Eddings is because the plot sucked me in - and some might think that that is a confirmation of Eddings' talent, but frankly, I sometimes watch trashy, inane soap operas just because the plot sucked me in. |
 | | Eddings has good ideas, and he conveys imagery in a way that's very easy to understand, but I dunno, I just don't like the rest of his presentation. |
