well looking at them, they are the same story.

the Belgariad / Mallorean = quest for object then quest to defeat Propechy (over 10 books not counting the Codex or Polgara / Belgarath)

the Elenium / Tamuli = Quest for Object the Quest to Defeat a God (over Six books)

the Redemption of Anthalus - same again.. but in 1 book...

to me, the Characters of Sparhawk, Kalten, Kurick, Belvier, Ulath and Tyiran are much better writen...
