Book Description
Ce'Nedra, Imperial Princess of Tolnedra, had joined a dangerous mission to recover the stolen Orb that supposedly protected the West from the evil God Torak. And somehow, she found herself feeling quite tender for Garion, the innocent farm boy, who would be forced into the strange tower in the center of all evil to retrieve the Orb by himself.
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

First Sentence
HER IMPERIAL HIGHNESS, Princess Ce'Nedra, jewel of the House of Borune and the loveliest flower of the Tolnedran Empire, sat cross-legged on a sea chest in the oak-beamed cabin beneath the stern of Captain Greldik's ship, nibbling thoughtfully on the end of a tendril of her coppery hair as she watched the Lady Polgara attend to the broken arm of Belgarath the Sorcerer.

Edding's CAN create a romance novel within a fanasty novel,
By
This review is from: Magician's Gambit (Mass Market Paperback)
Edding's is a master at being able to combine to different kinds of books. He explains Ce'Nedra's feelings for Garion but at the same time keeps the action flowing so it doesn't seem like a cheap $2.50 romance novels you find at the drug stores. You feel yourself guessing does she love him or is it just a simple crush. Read and find out!

The High Point of The Belgariad,
By not4prophet (North Carolina) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Magician's Gambit (Mass Market Paperback)
How are you supposed to review a David Eddings novel? Every fantasy fan either loves him or hates him. If you're in the first category, then you should have no qualms about picking up "Magician's Gambit". This volume, in my opinion, is the high point of the series. It's fast-moving, witty, and well organized, with lots of sword fights and the beginnings of some romance. The plot follows the same pattern as "Pawn of Prophecy" and "Queen of Sorcery", with the group of heroes moving through various countries and occasionally picking up new travellers to help them in their quest to recover the orb. No further explanation is really necessary. Just know that Eddings is the fantasy equivalent of comfort food; you've got to indulge in his books once in a while or else you'll just forget how to have fun.
