The 12 book BelgariadMallorean series by David Eddings had remained my number 1 favorite for decades. I have read and listened to many, many series and had come to believe I wouldn’t find one to match or beat it in personal enjoyability until I found the Black Ocean series. Hoorah for the existence of J.S. Morrin and equally for M. Naramore as J.S wrote it masterfully, but it was M. Naramore who really brought the characters to life. You make a great Team. Fingers crossed for a 6th installment.
