I agree with you on Eddings being repetitive - I saw it after the Tamuli finished (I read the Elenium before the Belgariand/Mallorean). It's the same basic quest: hero and a varied band of friends (including at least one father figure and a wise motherly magic-using female) go on a quest that spans across a whole continent, searching for a magic gem, then going to fight an evil god. Then a few years later they have to go defeat another evil god with the help of the magic gem.

Even Althalas had that basic pattern, though the macguffins were books and a knife, and there was history re-writing time travel (which I didn't mind so much in that book but in the Elder Gods it came as such a deus ex machina - practically literally given the character who did it).
