The Hidden City by David Eddings.

Thank you for this! I’ve bought the 1st in the Sparhawk series to read. I do love good fantasy, and I read all of his belgariad a long time ago and loved them.

I loved The Belgariad & The Mallorean but i didnt get on with the 3 book series that he did after that for some reason.

Is the Belgariad good? I've got them on the shelf waiting.

The Sparhark ones are good, plenty of humour in them. I think they get better as they go along too.

I'm on the last book of the 6 though, The Hidden City.

I loved the belgariad series, I was pretty new to fantasy when I read them and they really cemented my love for the genre.

Thanks Scass. I will have to get onto them soon then.

Have you read any of Trudy Canavan's fantasy? I've read the Black Magician's trilogy and Priestess Of The White. Very similar to Eddings.

I've only got one of Robin Hobb's so far, Dragon Keeper, which was also good.

I’ve read her 1st series but it was a long time ago, haven’t read any since.

I love Robin Hobb. Read 3 of her trilogies back to back earlier this year.

I have Robin Hobb books but I have never read any.

Im currently reading through 'Factfulness' a non fiction books about the World & Facts.

Ive just finished reading 'Factfulness' :-

ive read the factfulness book and it made interesting reading. It dealt with misconceptions and mega misconceptions and I got what it was saying that for most people on the planet things are better than 20,50,100 years ago. It doesnt deal with the point about the increasing gap between rich & poor though and does feel (I know feelings are not facts) like it could be used to excuse huge inequalities between people on the basis that generally your life is better, ignoring that your life could be even better if inequality is tackled. An interesting read though.
