Go look up the belgariad and then the other series by the same author. Wonderful writing and enjoyable story but every series is the same story with different characters.

And settings that, ten years after you get done with them and liked the whole thing based purely on the characters, make you go "wait, that was actually super racist and more than a little pedophilic"

Then you find out about the child abuse charges and some things start making more sense.

Well damn. That was an unwelcome surprise this afternoon. The more you know I guess.

Yeah, I read them as a teen and really liked them, so read them (well, the Belgariad, at least, then kinda stalled on the next series) to my daughter more recently and didn't find them quite as enjoyable. They were still fun but full of a bunch of questionable shit. I'd say it was very boomeresque with a lot of its humour. Also the weird recurring "oh drat, you have out-negotiated me again, Silk!"
