I just finished reading the book, The Redemption of Althalus by David and Leigh Eddings.

Basically this thread is just about what you thought of the book. Did you enjoy it? Did it make you want to keep reading? Was there anything you noticed about the writers etc?

<u> My Opinion </u>

I thought the book was quite good. It had a nice interweaving intricate story line, even if parts were just to much of a "coincidence" for my liking (i.e. the fact that Althalus just happens to be telling the story of Gosti and then Gher just comes up with a great idea, just when they need it)

The main thing I noticed really, especially in the last few hundred pages, was the fact that the authors kept repeating sayings, I almost knew what characters were going to say. Now some people may like this, but I just found it a bit annoying, and I'd say a thesauras would be in order there.

The ending was O.K. but then I always have complaints about endings, I suppose it was satisfactory, but I just felt it was quite abrupt.

That'l do for now, before I posted this thread I had many comments to make, but I just got back from a holiday and I am very tired, so maybe Il add more tomorow, but for now, you guys...take it away.
