Really, Link?! The Heritage series was that good? Truly I enjoyed the first trilogy of the Shannara series and even parts of the second series, but I eventually gave up. I may have to seriously look into the Heritage series. I remember the ending to The Elfstones of Shannara and was completely blindsided by the major twist at the end. If Hetitage is like that I'll be most pleased.
As for Eddings, well I tried his writings several times and found him sophmorically light.
