First Sentence
HER IMPERIAL HIGHNESS, Princess Ce'Nedra, jewel of the House of Borune and the loveliest flower of the Tolnedran Empire, sat cross-legged on a sea chest in the oak-beamed cabin beneath the stern of Captain Greldik's ship, nibbling thoughtfully on the end of a tendril of her coppery hair as she watched the Lady Polgara attend to the broken arm of Belgarath the Sorcerer. Read the first page

5.0 out of 5 stars Edding's CAN create a romance novel within a fanasty novel, Sep 1 2003
By R. Reinhart "rar0831" (Minocqua, WI) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Magician's Gambit (Mass Market Paperback)
Edding's is a master at being able to combine to different kinds of books. He explains Ce'Nedra's feelings for Garion but at the same time keeps the action flowing so it doesn't seem like a cheap $2.50 romance novels you find at the drug stores. You feel yourself guessing does she love him or is it just a simple crush. Read and find out!

4.0 out of 5 stars The High Point of The Belgariad, Jun 20 2003
By not4prophet (North Carolina) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Magician's Gambit (Mass Market Paperback)
How are you supposed to review a David Eddings novel? Every fantasy fan either loves him or hates him. If you're in the first category, then you should have no qualms about picking up "Magician's Gambit". This volume, in my opinion, is the high point of the series. It's fast-moving, witty, and well organized, with lots of sword fights and the beginnings of some romance. The plot follows the same pattern as "Pawn of Prophecy" and "Queen of Sorcery", with the group of heroes moving through various countries and occasionally picking up new travellers to help them in their quest to recover the orb. No further explanation is really necessary. Just know that Eddings is the fantasy equivalent of comfort food; you've got to indulge in his books once in a while or else you'll just forget how to have fun.

5.0 out of 5 stars Halfway and still strong
Granted, these 5 books in this series are all only around the 300 page range or so and not the 600 - 700 page Jordan monstrosities, but there is still no slow down at all. Read more
