I'm sad to say that Eddings is the one author I have read that repeats
himself the most. If you've read the Malloreon you already know that it's
much like the Belgariad, and The Elenium and The Tamuli is more of the
same. It's different characters and a slightly different setting but
otherwise it's almost exactly the same senario. What's even more sad,
Eddings have, IMHO, lost a lot of the humour that made the predecessors so
great. As with the Belgarion/Malloreon series. The first couple of books
are the best, the first book in the Elenium are actually quite readable.
