From Kirkus Reviews
Already a runaway bestseller in the UK, this latest doorstopper fantasy from the husband-and-wife team expands upon the events encompassing two huge five-book sagas, The Belgariad and The Malloreon, plus a sequel-cum-companion volume, Belgarath the Sorcerer (1995). This enormous tome focuses on Belgarath's daughter Polgara, the 3,000-year-old shape-shifting sorceress, and her tumultuous world of magic, one-eyed evil gods, kings, swords, orbs, and whatnot. Neither sequel nor prequel, but--what? Postquel? Omniquel? (Radio satellite tour) -- Copyright ©1997, Kirkus Associates, LP. All rights reserved.

4.0 out of 5 stars
at times slow paced but great read for the fans,
By arto (Finland) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Polgara the Sorceress (Mass Market Paperback)
I read this book at same time with Belgarath the Sorcerer, chapter by chapter, event by event, and it was a great deal of fun but the differences were also easier to perceive. while Belgarath the Sorcerer is at times very humorous, the strength of this book is delving to the realm of less known events and a more mysterious character. Belgarath always felt like a good old friend but Polgara, while homely had retained her mysteries which are unveiled here.For me the book is clearly separated in two parts. Most of it proves what we already know: Belgarath spent most of his time recovering from his life's great tragedy and was greatly involved in the grand story but had no strength nor desire to dedicate his time for problems smaller than the fate of the universe. Polgara is involved with the subplots and generally doing her best keeping the western world out of trouble until the final showdown. The second part starts when Polgara accepts her new role and leading a more normal life, which is when the book gets boring, but the climax is worth is and if Belgarath's story got the most laughs, Polgara laughs last and hardest. ;)

I am SO wowed,
By A Customer
This review is from: Polgara the Sorceress (Mass Market Paperback)
This is one of the best books I have ever read. I was completely engrossed from start to finish- the whole 700 some pages. Polgara's autobiography filled in many of the gaps left by Belgarath's. This book has all of the classic elements of a book written by David Eddings- humor, realistic emotions, and the most believable characters you'll ever come across. I think the Eddings have outdone themselves writing this spectacular literary work and would recommend it to anyone who has already the Belgariad and the Mallorean. If you haven't read those, go read them!
