his stories seem unoriginal,contrived and overall shit to modern people, mostly because he died before some of them were old enough to read.He has structural cohesion which is rare these days

David Eddings is a meme author. literally genre tier fiction. no discernible talent.

The Belgariad is a very comfy series, a nice fantasy read for young teenagers, and also nice to reread once you're an adult. The Malloreon, which directly follows it, is also entertaining, but it is more of the same.

They were ok but had cliche characters. Ending to the Malorian was REALLY stupid. Stupid asshole characters go about the world like they're better than everyone else because they are WIELDERS OF MAGIC HOLY SHIT. Whole notion of ambiguous prophecy throughout all the books is awful.

Read them when I was fourteen, really enjoyed The Belgariad, it is full of cliches, but he uses them perfwctly. When I finished those books tried the Malorean, and I got to hate character interactions in the that saga, there was no tension at all and they all were cracking jokes at every other page.

I loved the Belgeriad when I was maybe 13 or 14 but I wouldn't reread it now. The Malorian wasn't so hot but it wasn't awful. Both are probably a little too kiddy/cliched for me now but I'd recommend Eddings to a younger reader over YA.

One of the things I really loved was how he built tge would tho the secret hand languages the rules of magic and politics of each nation, I don't know how I can create like that
