The reason your finding them different is because those two were writen after those books. The Belgariad starts off slow and seemed a bit "kidish" The mandallorean is a lot better.
Really? I guess by then, I just thought it was the Belgariad Redux, so I was like "Haven't I read all this before."

Also the Sparhawk books are better as well.
Yeah, I liked them better -- still rather vanilla. Also had the same problem -- 2 trilogies that were basically repeats. By the way, who's turn to cook is it? [img]graemlins/heee.gif[/img]

What I liked about Eddings was that no one knew how to develop a character better. At least early on. Silk, for instance, awesome character. Pawn of Prophecy taught me a lot as a writer about writing characters. Then he ran it into the ground. Then he did it again for another 5 books.
