finally nearing the conclusion,

This review is from: Sorceress of Darshiva (Mass Market Paperback)
Book 4 of the MalloreanHave you heard the expression "The more things change, the more they stay the same"? That expression is perhaps a good analogy for Eddings' Mallorean. Belgarion, Polgara, Belgarath and company are hot on the heels of Zandramas, the sorceress who kidnapped Belgarion's infant son way back in Book 1 "Guardians of the West". Now the group is only a couple of days behind, but more than just finding Zandramas they have to follow the prophecy which is gearing up between a final (truly final) meeting between the Child of Light and the Child of Dark. This story takes place on the continent of Mallorea, and another character is added to Belgarion's group as they follow the clues laid out by prophecy. While it may feel at times that the story will never end and that Belgarion is not truly getting closer to finding his son, this novel does give the sense that there is a true resolution that is going to happen if we just wait for it. Neither this review nor this book is capable of changing your mind about whether or not you like David Eddings or his work. If you like Eddings, the "Belgariad" or the first three books in this series, then you will certainly like this one. It is more of the same. If you don't like Eddings...you won't like this one because it is still more of the same. Every character is witty and makes jokes at the others expense, but in a good natured way because they all like each other. They are the same jokes and side comments that have run through 8 previous novels set in this world. On one hand the jokes are amusing, but on the other hand, we've been reading the same jokes and comments for eight novels. This series (along with "The Belgariad") is one which hooked me on the fantasy genre when I was a young teenager, so I will always have a certain fondness for the series. In terms of overall quality, it is not one of the best you will read but it has always been enjoyable to read.

Who is Zandramas? Well this book is a lot about her and where she comes from. Garion must hurry to meet her at the correct time and place to stop her from becoming a new Torak. Can he do it. This book only took me two days to read it which says a lot because I am a very busy person. I think you will finish it just as fast.

This review is from: Sorceress of Darshiva (Mass Market Paperback)
This book and series is so dull and repetitive, at points I felt like I was reading the second or third book of the series again. The wit is beyond dull, the characters are now beyond boring, and plot has slowed to a crawl.There are some fights between demons and armies, but the reader needs to trudge through the most dull aspects of the book to get to them. The good aspect of this book is that at least there is a sense that the travels and the monotony will end, and the final prophecy will take place. The evil sorceress, Zandramas, tries to slow them down, while the Seeress tries to keep the prophecy going. As usual, more of the prophecy is revealed, is slow, boring detail. Out of the 400 or so pages, only about 20 pages mattered.
