A review by aphrael
The Redemption of Althalus by David Eddings Leigh Eddings by David Eddings, David Eddings

2.5

I went into this knowing the writers do kind of simplistic stuff most of the time, so I was suprised that the start includes some
murder
. Other than that it's about what you can expect, but there's a bit of messing with time and space that, while creative, gets a bit tedious. Especially when there's a lot of
"this should happen first before we do that", which makes it seem everything is predestined.
The whole plot is maybe too neat and recursive and boring, but the core of family and love the authors are so good at really help sell the book. That said, the characters are a bit one-dimensional and any issues are solved right away so the fight doesn't really seem to be very high stakes. This annoyed me a lot while reading it. I probably outgrew these authors a while ago, but this book cemented that completely. I think if you're younger, it's probably an ok book.
