Please fix this damaged digital edition which is currently unreadable. The Eddings are among my favorite authors and this is a butchery of their work.
David Edding's 'Rivan Codex' is not quite the page turner that his books 'The Belgariad', 'The Mallorean'. 'Belgarath the Sorcerer' and 'Polgara the Sorceress' are, but it gives readers of those books some insight into what went into the writing of those. It has information on the fictional cultures of the Alorns and other races of the books and their counterparts in our world, and a lot of other background material that helped him and his wife in the creation of the twelve book series. It is a wonderful companion volume to the other books.
David and Leigh Eddings are two of my favorite authors. I find myself coming back again and again reading the book they right. I am still disappointed that not all of their work has been released on Kindle. I do believe I will just have to be patient. Please Hurray Up and get the older material on Kindle. I find it odd that if you live outside the United States you can purchase the books on Kindle.
Notice the third item in the title is said between coughs.Overall:Interesting to see the background. Seeing his initial story and realizing he started off only a step or two above where I'm at ( the Belgarath story was very cheesy, he also neglects to mention, when he talks about maps, that he did not have a map at that time else he wouldn't have the 'thousand leagues' stuff which he comments on ). In other words, it gave me some perspective.Pros:-Will allow you to weigh yourself as a writer against the beginning David & Leigh Eddings-Gives you some, albeit dated, perspective into the publishing process.-Gently reminds you that David Eddings was a pervert. ( Note: The 'gently' is a lie. )-Gives you perspective between Eddings' level of skill starting on the Belgariad and starting on the Mallorean.-Has good miscellaneous information for budding writers.-Gives you some information on where Eddings got some of his characters...but not much. *SIGH*Cons:-When was this written? Before or after the LotR movies? Eddings' derision of Tolkien, while sort of his right, is sort of uhm...stupid. I doubt anyone is going to make movies out of his books. Tolkien has him soundly beat.-Lots of ego. Sort of what you'd expect from a multi-millionaire old man who isn't going to lose anything.-It isn't really interesting if you're looking solely for insight into his world.-Character creation and personality creation are not covered. Polgara and Belgarath are HUGE personalities and got their own books ( retroactively, I might add, which makes them fairly useless as to seeing what made this happen. "Polgara the Sorceress" is particularly awesome though ), Garion's obvious enough ( blank slate ) but Silk is a character I wanted some "Okay, it was my uncle blargh's tendancy to sneeze every time he lied that gave Silk his nose twitch, but it was my observation of a guy selling a vacuum cleaner to my grandma that gave me his other traits. That guy grew to be a family friend and I got to know him well" from him.-Map creation/ideas are not covered thoroughly.Final judgment:It needs about 250 pages written specifically about characters in his world and their peculiarities. Geography is easy enough to figure out, but knowing what to look for in others to make characters, how to synthesize human traits into new, believable characters, that's a skill that's missing from this.You'll, because of his lack of talking about how he planned his nations ( barring "North: Vikings, South: Romans, Further south: Reptile people, et cetera ), miss out on his geographical decisions. However one can see some symbolism ( intentional or not ) in his placement of his nations.All in all, this book is a book about how he wrote the books. It's useful information and a great gauge for beginning writers to compare themselves to. Being able to say "Hey, he sucked as bad as I do, there's still hope!" should be inspirational to someone. Of course, a reader who says this could suffer from the same self-congratulatory, egotistical syndrome he had when he wrote this.Recommendation:Read the Belgariad and Mallorean in that order. Then read this, then read Polgara the Sorceress and Belgarath the Sorcerer in that order ( the contrast in skill is useful, as is the slow realization that his wife was mostly responsible for Polgara the Sorceress ), then read the Belgariad and Mallorean again. Coming in with all of that new information, you'll get the most you can out of it.Also, aspiring writers, remember to read recently published books. Preferably out of your own genre ( to prevent contamination, or so they say, I ignore this and read whatever I want ). I came into reading this all with my own ideas already formed, realized I was on a good track, and kept on trucking.( Sans one star due to ego )
This was a fun read for anyone who has enjoyed the Belgariad/Mallorian. A brief retelling of a 10 volume masterwork. And a glimpse into the preparation for that epic story.
Enjoyed rereading and reviewing a story that I read way too many years ago. Great intro to the genre for the young & fun read for those of us getting old.
One of my favorite epic fantasy stories. David Eddings has made a world of characters that you might just recognize in people around you. Sure the is magick involved and gods and the struggle between good and evil, but I love the humanness of the characters Mr. Eddings has created. One of my favorite characters is Garion, an honest, earnest,intelligent, yet naive young man that reminds me of myself.
It is an extroidinary thing to to take a peek at how David Eddings came up with his epic series.
