Though the overarching theme of the series can e read as a 'Good vs Evil', Eddings avoids any hint of righteousness in his charactes' motivations. To quoth: "Good versus evil is complicated. I prefer 'Them versus Us'." <br/><br/><a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/list/123219?utm_medium=api&utm_source=blog_review">View all my reviews.</a>
