- IMHO, Eddings has decided enough has been written about Garion and
- friends. I mean, he is forging ahead with another double series
- (Elenium/Tamuli).
-
- Actually, I think the Belgariad/Mallorean series has finished in a
- very nice place. I think we can rest assured that Eriond can keep the
- world peaceful and happy, and that it would be too boring to write
- another book about it. :-) :-)
-
- On that note, how do people (and especially fans :-) feel about the
- concept that "enough is enough" and that there comes a time when a
- story must stop? Or what about *gasp* that ideas are no longer new
- and refeshing? Just something to think about.
-
- Finally, something I have not seen mentioned in this group: Does
- anyone have an opinion on _The Losers_?
