Kevin's Watch

I tend to keep mine short, mainly cause Im busy, and if Im gonna write something up for roleplay purposes ill do it for everyone, or for IC stuff, so that people know when Im obviously IC or OOC.

You dont want to know what I think of Eddings

Ya probably think the same of him as most on the Watch!

Oh dunno, when I unleashed my full feelings for him towards menolly I think I shocked her just a tad. I was pretty... Um... Blunt I guess you could say.

Haha, it's not an uncommon opinion of him here really... Mine was about 400 words. Short, to the point. I don't story-tell in my moves. Now...if we're only lucky enough to have a similarly quick resolution as the previous few...

I will say since I haven't read any Eddings, it certainly hasn't encouraged me to do so...

So...does anyone have any guesses on these L-rds of Eiran and how they'll come into play? I'm excited to see there is one associated with the Fae, as they are not listed among known races this age. Gives me yet some hope regarding the Dragons!

AllFather, of the eight supposedly associated with races, you only list three, unless I'm skipping over something. Care to list the others? Please?

~edit~

argh...I did skip something.
Make that five listed with races...

Eddings aims for young readers. You won't have to reach for your dictionary with him as you would for SRD. There isn't much in the way of deep insight either.

Hmm...

I would say something for Beorn then, but since he has read (and liked) The Gap Cycle, *shudder*, perhaps not...

But Eddings definitely has enough books to keep my voracious reader occupied. Although, even though I told him I have other series I plan to read first, so not to expect me to get the next volumes in the series for awhile, Beorn is up to page 417 of Gardens of the Moon, having come across the copy Luci gave me sitting patiently awaiting my attention on my bookshelf...

For the record I LIKED EDDINGS!! Sorta light junk food twinkie fantsay! Belariad & Malloreon were fun and I think a young boy would like them. And I also read and liked the Elenium. His last series, I bought the first book but couldn't get into them.

Thanks Creator.
If I should introduce Beorn to Eddings, which series is first?

The Belgariad. That was the first one I read, and generally reguarded as his best work. Look at the reviews on AMAZON.COM; they are generally spot on.

Never made it through a whole book of his, except for the non-fantasy High Hunt, which was pretty good...not his usual fluff.

Wow...that's as two opposing views as I can get.
You still recommend Heinlein for Beorn instead, Av?

Nothing should come before Heinlein, although some stuff is as good.

*sigh*

...yessir...

Red Planet was the introductory Heinlein suggested, yes Av?

I found that the solo book he did about the thief Althallus was his best work. Otherwise the rest was over soppy and once you have read one series of his you have read them all.

Also, I hat ethe way its all happy and lovey dovey. Everyone ends up getting married at the end of every series and its just soooooooooo cheesy. I much prefer dark fantasy. I find only the english are any good at it, so far in my experience anyway

You have yet to read TCTC though, eh Dorian?

I'm a looooong way from finished with Malazan, but what do you have in mind?

we have (myself included - starting it with my Eddings comment ) probably drifted waaaaayyy off post for this thread

...but...but...but...

We're awaiting results!!

Would you rather the thread go dead as it tends to do instead?
