The Redemption of Althalus

This is my favourite book.

Wikipedia description:

The Redemption of Althalus is a stand-alone fantasy novel by David and Leigh Eddings. Its main character is Althalus, a professional thief enlisted by the Goddess Dweia to save the world from the desolations of her evil brother Daeva and his henchman Ghend. As with other Eddings books, it is written in a style which combines dramatic storytelling with wry, light humour.

I read the back before I bought it and thought to myself 'no way they can include all of that into one volume!'

But they did, and it's not rushed. It's extremely well written and definitely a must for anyone who likes fantasy Smile

Anybody else read it?
Very Happy

I haven't read that one but David's " Belgariad " series was superb, his death was a sad loss to fantasy readers everywhere Sad
