Review

“Fabulous . . . Eddings has a marvelous storyteller style . . . exceedingly well portrayed and complex people. . . . More! More! More!”
–ANNE MCCAFFREY

Product Description

Millions of readers have discovered the magic of David Eddings’ New York Times bestselling series The Belgariad. Now the first three books in this monumental epic appear in a single volume. Here, long-time fans can rediscover the wonder—and the uninitiated can embark upon a thrilling new journey of fantasy and adventure.

It all begins with the theft of the Orb that for so long protected the West from an evil god. As long as the Orb was at Riva, the prophecy went, its people would be safe from this corrupting power. Garion, a simple farm boy, is familiar with the legend of the Orb, but skeptical in matters of magic. Until, through a twist of fate, he learns not only that the story of the Orb is true, but that he must set out on a quest of unparalleled magic and danger to help recover it. For Garion is a child of destiny, and fate itself is leading him far from his home, sweeping him irrevocably toward a distant tower—and a cataclysmic confrontation with a master of the darkest magic.

5.0étoiles sur 5 The very best there is !, Mai 29 2004
Par Tyler J. Prow (Shelby, NC United States) - Voir tous mes commentaires
These books are the very best there is. There is war, murder, mystery, romance, magic, and humor. It is better than Harry Potter. There are spectacular characters in these books. Belgarath and Polgara are constantly bantering with each other, and it is so funny. There is a whole lot of action in these books that make it an on-the-edge-of-your-seat thriiler. There is some romance that just make your stomach do back-flips. Truly they are the best books I have ever read, and it makes it all the more exciting that there are three books in one! I advise you to read these books, however if I were you I would get the other books when you buy this one, because you are going to want to read them when you finish these. You will not be able to put these books down!

(TOP 50 REVIEWER)   
This volume includes the first three books in David Eddings' well-known "The Belgariad" series. Those books are "Pawn of Prophecy", "Queen of Sorcery" and "Magician's Gambit", and I can sincerely said that they are excellent, so good that I still enjoy them even though I first read the series more than 12 years ago.

"The Belgariad" brings a strange world to the readers, a world where magic is a reality that is accepted, even if it isn't overly common. Eddings somehow managed to bring to life a whole world, with different countries and plenty of political intrigue, as well as deities that take a close interest in mundane affairs.

The main character is Garion, a very level-headed young orphan who will suddenly find himself in the midst of action when a magical stone, the Orb, is stolen. Strangely enough, our very common teenager will involuntarily become involved in a quest to retrieve it, along with his Aunt Pol, a storyteller and some very interesting characters from diverse parts of the world. The fact is, the retrieval of the Orb involves very ancient prophecies that must be fulfilled, and Garion and his companions are part of it all.

Garion will discover that his Aunt Pol is no other than Polgara the sorceress, and that the old man who from time to time drops by and tells him stories is both his grandfather and Belgarath the sorcerer. Garion will be eager to know more, specially what he is supposed to do in the grand scheme of things. Despite that, nobody tells him a thing, the excuse being that he will learn everything when it is time to do so.

All in all, I can tell you that I am still thankful that this series caught my eye many years ago. "The Belgariad" is pretty popular in USA, but that isn't the case in Argentina, and I could have overlooked it. Fortunately that wasn't the case, and due to that I am in the position to highly recommend "The Belgariad" to you, knowing very well what I am saying.

Please take into account that "The Belgariad, Vol. 1" only includes the first three books in the series, so you will do well to buy it at the same time than "The Belgariad, Vol. 2", that compiles the last two books. That is likely to save you time, because as soon as you finish the first volume you will be so full of curiosity regarding the rest of the story that you will probably run to a nearby bookstore to purchase the rest of the series, if you hadn't already done so. That having been said, happy reading :)

2.0étoiles sur 5 Thought Eddings was more than, Juil 4 2006
I've been trying to read, with difficulty, the Belgariad. Eddings can't seem to decide whether Garion is a young child or a youthful teenager in Volume one. I can't help but think this guy has no experience with teenagers in general. He lets Aunt Pol guide this young teenager by the hand and the character just lets it happen all the time.

A race of people evil all the time. Even in my old DND days we tampered with that all the time.

I struggle to read this book I've bought. I will not read another David Eddings book again unless suggested by some reader I trust and even then I am most leary to the suggestion.

David Eddings is like a Dungeon master for 9 year olds.
