Magician's Gambit (The Belgariad)

Friday, 23 July 2010 00:00
This third installment of The Belgariad follows it's characters as they travel through a variety of new and interesting places; Maragor, a land empty of life, littered with gold and the ruins of a long-lost civilization and haunted by the tortured soul of the God Mara; the Vale of Aldur, home to the God as well as his ancient disciples, including Polgara and Belgarath; the Ulgo caverns, caves holding cities hidden from the world where the God UL rules. Follow along as the group meets new friends and old enemies on their quest to recover the Orb and watch as Garion grows ever closer to who he is supposed to be and what he was born to do. The main themes of this book are, again, those of manhood and coming of age. In Magician's Gambit, Garion finally begins to realize who he is as the journey for the Orb nears it's end. Another smaller and more underlining theme would probably be that of the devastation wrought upon the world by greed, from seeing the results and anguish Tolnedra caused by their destruction of the people of Maragor. Although coming of age is still the main idea behind this book, as it is with almost of the books in The Belgriad. As always, Eddings characters are brilliant! We have, of course, the team we left off with, and come across three new members of the prophecy in this book to boot - the Blind Man, the Mother of the Race that Died and Bearer of the Orb. We also finally get to meet the twisted and chilling Ctuchik, high...

Castle of Wizadry (The Belgariad)

Friday, 23 July 2010 00:00
In Castle of Wizardry, book number four of the Belgariad, we once again rejoin the group where we left off. With the powerful Orb of Aldur finally recovered from the East, the quest Eddings' characters first set out upon in Pawn of Prophecy is nearing it's conclusion. But they still must reach the island kingdom of Riva before Erastide. And our now-conflicted, and newly named, Belgarion has yet to find out his part in the prophecy's scheming. What do the rivaling forces controlling his universe have in store for him? Or for the little spoiled Tolnedran princess, Ce'Nedra? The main themes of this book are, again, those of manhood and coming of age. In this book, Belgarion takes...

Enchanter's End Game (The Belgariad)

Friday, 23 July 2010 00:00
The final book in The Belgariad fantasy series, Enchanter's End Game begins by following Belgarion, Belgarath and Prince Kheldar's trek through Gar og Nadrak as the small trio makes its way to the darkened city of Cthol Mishrak so that Garion may face the twisted God Kal Torak and fulfill the prophecy which has awaited him for centuries. It also covers Ce'Nedra and the tiny princess' efforts to distract the Angarak kingdoms from the Child of the Light and his companions by raising an army to wage war against the Angarak people. She captures not only the victories that come with such a venture, but the losses and problems that accompany it for the small princess and her followers...
