David Eddings has passed away at the age of 77. Good article over at the Crowsnest.I only ever read Eddings's Belgorath the Sorceror, but it's always a sad day when the genre loses such a well-known author.

I agree it's sad. Was he still writing?
ReplyDeleteTis indeed sad. Although I haven't read an Eddings since I was about fifteen and consider his works pretty far from the kind of thing I like to read/write now, I still remember the enjoyment I derived from reading them at the time.
ReplyDeleteBelgariad was the first fantasy I read outside of Tolkien and showed me that it doesn't have to be boring. The Mallorean was the first series I ever had to wait to be published and was constantly at the book store or library trying to find out when the next one would be in.
ReplyDeleteI have not read he Dreamers series or the Althalus stand alone but I have a soft spot for all his other books with High Hunt introducing me to the idea of swinging - woot! ;-)
