Product Description

Product Description

"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.


From the Paperback edition.


Ingram

5.0 out of 5 stars Second as good as the first, Sep 1 2003
By R. Reinhart "rar0831" (Minocqua, WI) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Queen of Sorcery (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 (North Carolina) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Queen of Sorcery (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.
