Gold old fantasy, all the classical elements in place. Not many surprises but David Eddings' prose is frank and at times funny. The naive nature of the tongue in cheek dialogue between the characters would usually bother me but hey, the world is ugly lately and it was more of a comfort than anything.

If you are looking for traditional fantasy getaway with easy flowing plot go ahead and pick up this first book of the trilogy.

let me begin by saying that I really did like this book. The only issue that I really had with it was I felt there was a lot of conversation, and not a whole lot of action. That aside though, I eally did like the characters. Once I started reading, I was so invested that I just wanted to know what was going to happen next. :-)
