> I read the first book and hated it. That was probably The Elder Gods series (Crystal Gorge, et al). It is awful. I suspect it was written while he was dying of cancer, and his wife had a great deal of input. The Redemption of Althalus is ... bearable, but not his best. I enjoyed The Elenium and The Tamuli series. They had a lot of the character of The Belgariad, but bloodier.
