| Re: Eddings Cliches
I don´t mind of having multiple repeats inside one storyline, such as Belgarion-stories, as there the characters stay the same and in real life people adopt and keep to specific sayings too. But when the same sayings are cultivated through many storylines, well, that irritates me. I don´t remember a lot of it in Althalus, as I last read it years ago, but whilst reading Elder Gods -saga (Dreamers?) I just pretended the saying´s weren´t there and tried to avoid reading them.
It takes the edge of witty conversation! A joke that is funny from Silk´s mouth might be boring from Longbow´s... |
