Summary: Eat your heart out Tolkein
Comment: This book forms part of a terrific series beginning with `Belgareth the Sorcerer'. I don't read much of this genre (fantasy) but like The Hobbit/ Lord of the Rings this will appeal to a large audience.
Following Belgareth the Sorcerer there are two series of 5 books, `The Belgariad' and `The Mallorean' and it is advisable to read them in order, and if you can read `Belgareth' first (although you could save it and read it afterwards like a prequel).
I raced through the series. The Eddings' (the books were written by a couple) create a Tolkein-esque world with our hero Belgareth learning powers known as `the will and the word' through centuries of study under a benevolent God (the gods that created this world still live on it in physical form). This study elevates him to the status of a sorcerer and elongates his life span - he becomes a legend and a force for good in the world. However, another disciple of his benevolent master rebels and steals the holy `Orb' stone, following a more sinister God. In the later series the Gods have left the planet in fear that their battle will destroy the world but their peoples continue to war - following the Prophecies left to them by the Gods. The two series follow the course of events as Belgareth leads the hunt for the traitor and the stone. It's very cleverly written and characters and events reappear as we become familiar with the history of this fictional world through the course of the books.
Really good fun and a definite recommendation if you want a light hearted escape that will keep you reading late into the night.
This is the order of the books:
The Belgariad
1. Pawn of Prophecy
2. Queen of Sorcery
3. Magician's Gambit
4. Castle of Wizardry
5. Enchanters' End Game
The Malloreon
1. Guardians of the West
2. King of the Murgos
3. Demon Lord of Karanda
4. Sorceress of Darshiva
5. The Seeress of Kell

Summary: BBRRIILLIIAANNTT!!
Comment: This book is the penultimate book in one of the best epic series in the world. With the fantastic plot and story line, Eddings weaves a magical tale. No body will be able to put this book down once started.
I own all the David Eddings books. If you like one, you like them all. This is a must at the price. The only downer is that you have to slog through 8 other books before you get here and finish off 3 after it. Only for the hardcore fantasy fan.
A definate must, expecially for fans of D+D!!

Summary: enthralling...
Comment: This book carried on the the thrilling quest of Belgarion to find and save his son. For me this book was slightly too long, in that there was a fair amoubt of repitition towrds the end, although divid eddings still managed to put in enough action to keep me reading almost without pause for a weekend. Sorceress of darshiva begins to bring together the plots from the first three books of the Mallorean in preparation for the final Book of the series, yet still manages to develope the characters, and provide the odd answer to questions raised in the Belgariad. if you've like the previous 3 [or 8 :)] then this book is a must buy!
Customer Rating:
Summary: An excellent book from a brilliant saga.
Comment: It seems as though Eddings has been able to keep up the quality writing. The characters seem to be real as they do most things a normal person would do. The use of humour in the books is excellent and it makes them well worth reading.
A brilliant job, keep up the good work.
Customer Rating:
Summary: A masterpiece
Comment: A word of caution: If you don't have time to read the entire saga, then don't buy this book!
The entire saga is a Masterpiece in fantasy-writing. To be compared with Tolkiens Lord of the Rings. This a must for all fantasy-lovers.
Eddings writes with style and humour. A true Master.
