NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Okay. So David Eddings has passed away. And I’m devastated. I was introduced to The Belgariad when I was 15 and I’ve read every single book of his. Even the most boring The Rivan Codex. That was like reading history, as it was history, and explanation of the entire fictional world in the Belgariad & Mallorean series.
Eddings had a way of writing that was so captivating, so intriguing and the characters so much like real laypersons that his fantasy world seems so real, and all the more exciting to read.
After the most recent The Dreamers Series, which ended in 2006, I’ve been praying that there will be another new series. It was a good 5 years before the last fantasy book he wrote before The Dreamer Series started. 5 years of pure waiting. Of course there was the intermittent non-fantasy books, of which Regina’s Song freaked me out so much. It was also one of the few books I read from cover-to-cover at one single sitting. Awesome book!
I think it’s time for me to re-read all his books.. Hmmm..
