Query: A hash of his previous books

As I read through the book, I repeatedly noticed compounded elements from every one of Eddings' previous books. Phrases, characters, and plot have been transplanted whole and mashed into a book which, although having its good points, overall drags. Longtime readers of Eddings will be bored silly, as they will recognize every character and half of the dialogue.
