Query: Not what I expected

I want to preface this review with saying that David Eddings is one of my favorite authors. I will continue to buy anything he writes with an expectation of a good book.Having said this - the 2nd and 3rd book in this series did NOT meet with approval. The first book was decent bordering on good but it ended there. I bought all three after they had all been published and must say I was disappointed.If you are new to David Eddings - you may like these. If you don't like them... Do NOT give up on his works!!! Go back to the Belgariad and read the whole series!! This is a VERY good fantasy writer!!
