But they're fun, fun books to read, and I really like the characters. However, it is wonderfully written. You don't just tell someone, especially a teenager, to instinctly know something and then be exasperated when they don't, and you don't forbid things without explaining why, especially not people who're supposed to be as old and wise as both of them. It was all travel, the occasional fight and more travel, and it was getting rather boring. Everything worked out fine. The title of each book combines a chess term with a fantasy term; whereas the concept of a 'Game of Destiny' is a significant motif in the story.

We watch the continued juvenile interactions between him and Ce'Nedra but they are young teenagers, so why not? Maybe he wasn't all he was cracked up to be, but he was the most central villain for the first two novels. Somewhere in the middle of book three is when I start to wonder: I think that the eloquent story-telling is a magic of its own breed. Also, since Eddings doesn't really do emotions at allI got kind of irritated with Ce'Nedra and her random outbursts of crying or whatever, because I was like, why the heck are you crying?

The writing remains weak in places, and there are some minor plot contradictions and disconnects, mostly towards the beginning of the book.
