Excellent series.
Fantasy takes the consistency of reality in this delicate legend of sorcerers, priests and world dominance.
These are great books!
A fun, adventuresome read - but the author uses the word "bleak" too often! LOL
This is my favorite fantasy series!
Well read paperback, which shows how awesome these stories are. Eddings is a master of fantasy.
This book was fantastic. The pacing is fantastic, the characters are well-rounded, and the plot keeps you wanting more!
FROM THE PUBLISHER
"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.

The adventure continues, the mysteries deepen, the journey is just beginning...
Most intriging of tales.

Haven't read since a teen - more than 25 years ago - but thought enough of the author / series to keep ALL THESE YEARS. Purging the collection and it is time for this series to go.
