I've had a bit of a masochistic relationship with Edding's books. I never was a big fan of them, but I kept buying them anyway. The books would be MUCH better if Eddings could write decent dialouge. That's where I was really turned off... Also note he had several series: The Belgeriad, the Mallorean, and the Elenium (and probably more since), so he actually has a lot of books in print! I think the last fantasy series (non-genre) that I read that I really liked was the Death Gate Cycle by Weis & Hickman. Great reading! I'm also a sucker for Kay too...
