Query: In my honest opinion

If you've read other Eddings Books this ones really similar to polgara the sorceress.The storyline is written much the same way and the only thing really different is the names.Even the dialogue of the various people in the book sounds much like all the other books. Ie Emerald & Althalus are virtually identical to Belgarath & Polgara.If you've read all of the other Eddings books, you'll find this book tends to be predictable. If its a first eddings book you read then It will be a great read. If you've read Eddings books before don't bother, you'll be bored with this book.
