Product Details

Product Description

From Library Journal

The trial of the sorceress Zandramas leads Garion and his companions into the heart of enemy territory where a cult of demon worshipers forces an unlikely alliance between the forces of Light and Darkness. Eddings uses gentle humor and endearing characters to temper the seriousness of his complex fantasy epic. Recommended for fantasy collections. JC

Product Description

In an adventurous sequel to THE MALLOREAN, David Eddings tells the story of King Garion's abducted infant son and his efforts to save him. Unfortunately, he and his friends are detained by the friendly, but determined Zakath, who refuses to let them leave. As a horde of demons ravage the Cities and a plague lets loose its terrors, Garion has little time left to reach his destination, or the kidnapper wins by default. --This text refers to the Mass Market Paperback edition.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Belgariad Review. Books 1-5, Jul 17 2004
By Paula McGlynn (Brittish Columbia, Canada) - See all my reviews
Ce commentaire est de: Demon Lord of Karanda (Mass Market Paperback)
The book series "The Belgariad" is probably the best book series i have ever read in my whole life so far. Dare I say, even better than Harry Potter. Although the series is very long, it's so enthrawling that i read it all in one week. Yes, all five books, in two volumes which are now available to buy. The book has a great deal of characters and it's hard to remember them all and where they come from by the 5th book, "Enchanter's End Game," but as you read along, they come back to you, and because David Eddings is such a good writer, he reminds you who they are avery couple books. The series is amazing. When you read it, you travel into the mind of Garion and his friends and it feels as if you are there, traveling the world with them too. It's an amazing series, and you don't even have to read "Belgarath The Sorcerer," or, "Polgara The Sorceress," to understand those characters, because David Eddings doesn't leave out any details... maybe that's why it's so long. I would definitly recommend everyone to read this, or give it a try, and if you don't like it, you can talk to me.

3.0 out of 5 stars the same old story, but enjoyable characters, Jan 6 2004
By Joe Sherry (Minnesota) - See all my reviews

Ce commentaire est de: Demon Lord of Karanda (Mass Market Paperback)
Book 3 of the Mallorean

This book continues the quest of King Belgarion to rescue his kidnapped son from the hands of Zandramas. Picking up right where "King of the Murgos" left off, Garion and company (Belgarath, Polgara, Sadi. C'Nedra, Silk, etc) head off to the continent/Empire of Mallorea under the power of the Emperor Zakath. This seems to be a side trip as they are trying to get to The House of Torak at Ashaba, but the group keeps getting sidetracked. However, as Belgarath says in the book, even with all the distractions, they keep gaining ground and time on Zandramas. That fact is no different in this novel.

While in the capital city of MaL Zeth, reports start coming in about a sorcerer who is raising a legion of demons. While the quest for Garion's son is important, a legion of demons threatens all and must be addressed. Add to this a touch of plague to the city, and Zakath's refusal to let Garion leave, and you have the makings of this novel. Like the other books of this series, it is a familiar story that mirrors that of The Belgariad (the first series involving these characters).

I would consider this to be light fantasy, but because of how well Eddings writes his characters, they feel like old friends from the start, and it is easy to get wrapped up in the story. This is also the 8th book featuring these characters, however, and we are getting the same story over and over again, so that there is really nothing new here. Silk acts like he always does, and says the same things, and Polgara responds the same way. If this is your first time through the series, and you have enjoyed it thus far, you will continue to enjoy it. After reading it multiple times, it begins to grow a little tiresome because of how similar everything David Eddings writes is to each other. This is a fun little series that I greatly enjoyed years ago, and less so today.

5.0 out of 5 stars Eddings again knows what he is writting about., Sep 1 2003

Ce commentaire est de: Demon Lord of Karanda (Mass Market Paperback)
After meeting the new Murgo king and finding out that he is related to Silk by his father was one of the great discoveries in the other book. Wait until you find out what else is going on in Mallerona. This book surprises you because it brings to light that most of the Angaraks are not really bad people just were under the rule of an evil god. Just read the book and find out for yourself!

2.0 out of 5 stars Disappointing!
I like the Belgariad series which prompted me to buy the Mallorean series. I am in for an unpleasant surprise.
The first book is OK but the second book fails to deliver. Lisez davantage

I fairly enjoyed the Belgariad. On a whole I would give that particular series 3 stars...

However, the Mallorean is just a rehash of the same freaking series. Lisez davantage
