@blakearthurpeel: Old school fantasy still hits. The Belgariad is about farm boys, prophecies, dark gods, and heroes who choose to be good. If you’re tired of grimdark and morally grey everything, this one’s worth your time. #BookTok #fantasybooktok #fantasybooks #bookish #BookRecommendations
Too bad the author was an evil man who locked children in chains in basements. Because that was a fantasy novel I loved as a child.

There was a story I remember from a long time ago, (Sparrowhawk comes to mind maybe?). I only remember the main character was looking for a staff or the wood for it perhaps(?). Any ideas?

Much of modern fantasy ( not all ) has forgotten it’s supposed to be fun. Not everything has to be a serious philosophical debate and explicit mental health issues .

While the main characters and plot are great, the side characters really make this series amazing. Durnik, Silk, Barak, Lelldorin, Ce’Nedra; so many great characters that fit into the world with interesting prophecy.

Thanks-but not burned out on Grimdark yet: Love morally gray characters; find it difficult to go back to black & white/good & evil protagonists.

This series was such a terrible knockoff of the glut of Tolkien wannabes in the 70s-80s.

It's funny, because if you read both Belgareth and Polgaras backstory novels you find that they're pretty morally grey, like Belgareth isn't above doing what's needed to ensure the Prophecy is fulfilled. I highly recommend them both. I'd also love to hear your thoughts on Eddings other Series The Elenium and the Tamuli as well as the similarities between the two
