Eddings again
Jul. 14th, 2006 03:11 amYou know what I'm growing to REALLY dislike about The Belgariad and The Malloreon books? Perfection. Too many of the characters are just perfect at fucking everything. And pefection is dull. Silk (and Velvet to a lesser extent) now just grate on me. They're like Super-Magic-Ninjas. Polgara irritates me as well. And I just want to pop Errand/Eriond in the face once or twice...
Also it feels like one of those issues of Justice League where you wonder what the hell everyone else is there for, when they have Superman in the group. Theres a point late in the second series where Belgarion has to remind the Orb that he doesn't REALLY want the stars rearranged so they spell his name. And yet they constantly bother with armies and sneaking around and what not. All so that everyone else has something to do...
