Book Description
END OF THE QUEST
It had all begun with the theft of the Orb that had so long protected the West from the evil God Torak. Before that, Garion had been a simple farm boy. Afterward, he discovered that his aunt was really the Sorceress Polgara and his grandfather was Belgarath, the Eternal Man. Then, on the long quest to recover the Orb, Garion found to his dismay that he, too, was a sorcerer.
Now, at last, the Orb was regained and the quest was nearing its end. Of course, the questors still had to escape from this crumbling enemy fortress and flee across a desert filled with Murgo soldiers searching for them, while Grolim Hierarchs strove to destroy them with dark magic. Then, somehow, they must manage to be in Riva with the Orb by Erastide. After that, however, Garion was sure that his part in these great events would be finished.
But the Prophecy still held future surprises for Garion--and for the little princess Ce'Nedra.
This continues the magnificent epic of The Belgariad, begun in Pawn of Prophecy, Queen of Sorcery, and Magician's Gambit--a fantasy set against a background of the war of men, Kings, and Gods that had spanned seven thousand years--a novel of fate, strange lands, and a prophecy that must be fulfilled!

From the Publisher
David Eddings [The Belgariad series] -- This is like Bonanza, or like I Love Lucy. There will be other fantasy series, but there can never be another that's so seminal, that so captures the essence of fantasy. Big Dave and Little Leigh grow their heroes from the ground up, and they grow the best.
--Veronica Chapman, Senior Editor

The Best Book I Ever Read!,
By Tyler J. Prow (Shelby, NC United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Castle of Wizardry (Mass Market Paperback)
As I said in my title "The Castle of Wizzardry" is the best book I have ever read (and that is saying something). It immediately starts off with the characters running for there lives, and continues to be so till about the middle. Then we come to the romantic part of the book which is just absolutely hillarious. Then my favorite part is the end, which is (with out a doubt) thrilling. I highly recommed this book, it is just so good. I have read at least a thousand books in my lifetime and I have never read a book this good. READ IT!

This review is from: Castle of Wizardry (Mass Market Paperback)
Now Garion must reach Riva before it is too late. A great action novel with my close calls. Eddings goes back to his classical ability to write a great action novel which will keep you page turning until the next morning.

Very funny,
By not4prophet (North Carolina) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Castle of Wizardry (Mass Market Paperback)
Some people have told me that they don't like the Belgariad because it drags on too long, but I disagree. I think that Eddings gives each of the five books in the series it's own distinct flavor and character, and that makes the entire series sufficiently entertaining to be worth reading. "Castle of Wizardry", the fourth book in the Belgariad, has less action than the rest of the series, but it makes up for that by having more humor. There's lots of hilarious conversations and clever descriptions that poke fun at characters. It's the comic high point of a series that already very much tongue-in-cheek, and a delightful way to burn through a few hours of your spare time.
