So I found this picture on the internet. The characters are very recognizable as the heroes of the "Belgariad" a fantasy book series from the mid-80s that I'm a big fan of.

A fellow Eddings fan! I like the Belgariad very much, but I have to confess that I think the writing in the Elenium and the Tamuli is a little better.

I'd be interested in knowing where this image comes from and what it says too.

I think the story in the Elenium is less predicatble/Tolkienian, and the world is more sophisticated and compex.

But its hard to get over our first love, and I read Belgariad in the 6th grade and it changed my life (which is admitedly easy to change in the 6th grade).
