"This was a great series. A little long in places, but an interesting twist on the usual fantasy fare. I enjoyed the take/jab on the religious establishment and the extremely broad scope of this series.

Oooo I like dark fantasy. Thank you for adding me. =)

and my dark fantasy fav:
I've just added all the books of The Belgariad and The Mallorean, along with Belgarath The Sorcerer and Polgara The Sorceress to my shelves. It's terribly sad news to hear that David Eddings has died. These books are part of the reason I became an author.
