It is a good series...

Tell me what do you think about the south story?

[Randallw]

To which South story do you refer?. Guns of the South or Settling Accounts?.

I just finished reading The Elder Gods by David Eddings. It's the first book of the series called The Dreamers. I enjoyed reading this book. It's in the same style as Eddings' other fantasy books, with a conflict between super-powerful forces of good and evil that's been going on for millenia but is coming to a critical juncture where the story begins.

...I have to wait for Eddings to write books two and three...

Hardly surprising, all his (or to be exact their) books are the same. I quit reading his books but having not read it I can predict A loveable rougue will spend the book(s) making friends with a small number of people each of which has a specific enemy on the bad side they need to personally defeat until all the evil duplicates are vanquished.

Edit: oh, and not forgetting the main character is the most powerful sorceror alive (and when I say alive I mean he is from the dawn of the world and is a few thousand years old)

Oh, come on. In one series, the main character just *became* the most powerfull sorceror alive and in another one, he's a non-magical knight. Ok, his best friend/daughter is a goddess, but still, that's not overpowered, is it?

[Randallw]

Ok, I'll concede that the knight isn't a sorceror. But I was thinking of the Old mage in his first books not the young hero (its been a while since I read them, and since then I read the Belgariad). oh, and thanks for reminding me that there is always a God/ess who is someones best friend. I'll concede there are 3 main themes with at least 2 in each book.

Actually, now that I think about it, he can do some magic, just not on the scale of the other main charaacters. At least, not until the end of the series, where he gets really munchkined for a bit.
