Book Description

Release Date: Feb 12 1986 | Series: Belgariad (Book 2)
"BELGARIAD is exactly the kind of fantasy I like. It has magic, adventure, humor, mystery, and a certain delightful human insight."
PIERS ANTHONY
The master Sorcerer Belgarath and his daughter Polgara the arch-Sorceress were on the trail of the Orb, seeking to regain its saving power before the final disaster prophesized by the legends. And with them went Garion, a simple farm boy only months before, but now the focus of the struggle. He had never believed in sorcery and wanted no part of it. Yet with every league they traveled, the power grew in him, forcing him to acts of wizardry he could not accept.

Review

Legends tell how Belgarath the sorcerer and his daughter Polgara defeated the evil God Torak, imprisoning him in an endless sleep. But now a priest of Torak is racing to his God with the Orb of Aldur and is racing to reawaken him. Belgarath and Polgara are on his trail. With them is Garion, a simple farm boy only months before. And with each league the group travel, the power of sorcery is growing in Garon . . . --This text refers to the Paperback edition.

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

5.0 out of 5 stars Second as good as the first Sep 1 2003
By R. Reinhart
Format:Mass Market Paperback
Eddings seems to make this book a little longer. If I remember correctly it was around 350 pages compared to the 247 of the first book. In this book Garion begins to discover the people in his everyday life are the protectors of foundation of the very world he lives in. He starts to understand what happen to his family and why it did happen. Eddings continues his draw on his series by making each book better and better.

4.0 out of 5 stars Pretty Good Mar 8 2003
By not4prophet
Format:Mass Market Paperback
"Queen of Sorcery" is another fast-paced, well-written, and wonderfully detailed fantasy adventure story. Eddings' skill at handling the nuts-and-bolts issues of writing shows through even more than it did in "Pawn of Prophecy". He understands that he should never spend more than five pages on any particular scene, and he realizes that importance of injecting a good action scene every few chapters to break up the dialogue. But above all else, Eddings has the saving grace of not taking himself too seriously. For instance, consider a new character who comes on board at the start and spends the entire book talking in mock-Shakespearian, with lots of "thees" and "thous" and "forsooths". If the author was actually taking this seriously, it would be almost unendurable. But since he knows that it's all in good fun, we can laugh at it too. Overall, highly enjoyable, and I'm very much looking forward to reading the next installment.

Highly enjoyable second book in the series. Like the first: brisk, easily accessible, and filled with action and magic. Characters have more depth than in the first volume.
