Book Description
David Eddings’ acclaimed series, The Belgariad, reaches its stunning conclusion in these final two gripping novels. Continue on this magnificent journey and be entranced by a saga of strange lands and peoples, of prophecy and strife set against the background of a seven-thousand-year war of men, Kings, and Gods.
The quest may be nearing its end, but the danger continues. After discovering a shocking secret about himself he never could have imagined—all in pursuit of the legendary Orb—Garion and his fellow adventurers must escape a crumbling enemy fortress and flee across a vast desert filled with ruthless soldiers whose only aim is to destroy them. But even when the quest is complete, Garion’s destiny is far from fulfilled. For the evil God Torak is about to awaken and seek dominion. Somehow, Garion has to face the God, to kill or be killed. On the outcome of this dread duel rests the future of the world. But how can one man destroy an immortal God?

Loved em as a teen,
By Anglobotomy (Las Vegas, Nv United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Belgariad Volume 2: Volume Two: Castle of Wizardry, Enchanters' End Game (Paperback)
If I was still 13 years old, I'd probably give these books a 5 star review. Its been a long time since that day, but I still have fond memories of this series. In a genre that is increasingly going 'adult' this series is one I can easily recommend to younger readers. It has great characters, a good story, lots of adventure and its written rather well. Its got a place in my list of best fantasy series ever for sure, but the series has lost some of its strength now that Im older.I wish the Eddings' had maintained their writing ability after the Belgarion books (this series and the Mallorean). Actually, the Diamond Throne series was good too. Sadly, after that, they lost it completely. Recycled characters, plots, themes. Still the Belgariad and Mallorean are two series I'd recommend to anyone. My favorite characters are Silk and Barak.

The conclusion to a thoroughly engaging fantasy epic...,

This review is from: The Belgariad Volume 2: Volume Two: Castle of Wizardry, Enchanters' End Game (Paperback)
"The Belgariad, Vol. 2" includes the last two books in "The Belgariad" series, "Castle of Wizardry" and "Enchanters' End Game". Truth to be told, these books are even better than the first three, and it is highly likely that you will find them thoroughly enjoyable.Despite that, a word of advice is in order: remember to read the books in "The Belgariad" series in their correct order, because only then will you fully enjoy them. That means that even if you are given "The Belgariad, Vol. 2" as a gift, you should buy "The Belgariad, Vol. 1" (that includes the first three book in the series) and read it first. It seems simple enough, but I think I must highlight the importance of that little tip. If you are still reading this review, it means that you have already read "Pawn of Prophecy", "Queen of Sorcery" and "Magician's Gambit". In "Castle of Wizardry" and "Enchanters' end-game", we meet once again with the same characters, but we are allowed to watch the way in which they have grown. That is specially noticeable in the case of Belgarion, who comes to terms with his destiny, and with what it implies. C'Nedra is also somewhat surprising, as the spoiled little queen becomes a general while trying to aid Belgarion's quest. On the whole, I can say that I highly recommend "The Belgariad, Vol. 2" to teens and adults alike, because I believe that both will find it entertaining and worthwhile reading. I think that everybody will be able to appreciate the fast-paced action and the dry humour that pervade these books. Of course, there is a pitfall. This fantasy epic is so engaging that after finishing it you will be left wanting for more. Fortunately, David Eddings has written a wonderful sequel, "The Malloreon", that I also recommend to you. Having said that, happy reading :) Belen Alcat

The best of Belgariad, the best books in the world!,
By Tyler J. Prow (Shelby, NC United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Belgariad Volume 2: Volume Two: Castle of Wizardry, Enchanters' End Game (Paperback)
The romance we see in the other books look like puppy love to these. The fighting we see in the others look like little skrimishes. These are the best book in the series. And in my opinion the best books in the world. It is brimming with amazing drama. There aren't words to describe it is so good. READ THESE BOOKS!!!!
