Summary: Not as good as I expected.
Review: I was expecting a book with the same quality of storytelling found in the Belgariad and in Belgarath the Sorcerer. Unfortunately I was disappointed. The book started off great, but slowly went downhill. Certain parts seemed inconsistent and silly. The book just didn't portray Polgara as the regal and mature figure that was developed through the Belgariad.

Summary: Stretching a good series too far.
Review: D.E. is a terrific writer, but I couldn't let a '4 star average' review stand on this novel without doing my part to reduce it. The book was well below his and Leigh's usual excellance. I wouldn't want them to see this review, because I'm sure they worked very hard on the book. But I must suggest you read the Belgarion and Mallorean and stop there!Polgara is a fine and noble character, but halfway through this book she becomes a shrewish, annoying egotist who doesn't learn or say anything new. I was fascinated by her tales of growing up, and thrilled by her years as the Duchess of Erat. Good stuff there! New characters! Killane is wonderful. After that, I'm afraid it deteriorates into one long whining rehash with only an occasional glimmer of her original nobility.

Summary: I loved this book!
Review: When I finaly found this book in paperback, I snatched it off the shelf. Now I'm glad it had such a good-looking cover! The plot was great-- I love complications. Polgara is pursued by an "assasin" and loses those who are dearest to her, but she still manages to accomplish her task. I'm a 14 girl and my Step-father is 35; we both loved it, and I got him to but me the rest of the series by making him read his book! Fun for all ages from 12 to 200. Plenty of magic here too.

Summary: Good, but not great!
Review: After reading literally everything Eddings has written, I was every so slightly dissappointed in this one. It just kind of dragged on. Polgara is obviously her own greatest fan. I am almost tempted to say that Eddings should have ended this series with "BELGARATH THE SORCERER". Still, if you loved the "BELGARIAD" and the "MALLOREAN" as I did, I guess you owe it to yourself to read this one too.
Rating:
Summary: Excellent end to an epic series.
Review: Great book, just like the rest. As to the poor reviews - Try to remember this is fantasy so don't be so serious. Enjoy the book and reccomend it to your friends.

Summary: Excellent and highly entertaining
Review: While I'm sure this book wasn't meant to be a comedy, in many places, I couldn't stop laughing. The very thought of someone that practically defines the words regal and beauty doing some of the things she did was just wonderfully entertaining. David and Leigh Eddings did a superb job of character development and created a wonderful masterpiece.

Summary: You'd rather read the Belgaraid again
Review: I have been a David Eddings fan for a long time, but this book has sorely disappointed me. It's long and dreary, with an awfully cliched style of writing and humour. Without telling you anything new, it goes on and on in a rambling tone about Polgara's "lengendary" travels. I was bored before I reached the end.

Summary: Outstanding book, Arendish scenes a little drawn out though
Review: I have not as yet read Edding's Sparhawk series but I have read all of the Mallorean and Belgariad. Belgarath was a fantastic sequel, and Polgara just made it better. I am sick of all these weirdos from New Zealand trashing on Polgara. I was simply enthralled with the story line and the characters. I will admit that the scenes in Arendia were a little drwan out and exhausting, but that is only a minor setback. THIS was a great book and I strongly recommend it to Edding's fans.
Rating:
Summary: wow!
Review: In short, this book was wonderful! It answered a lot of my questions and gave me an idea of what Polgara was doing the whole time I was reading about Belgarath. I suggest this book to everyone, I thought it was absolutely terrific.
Rating: 
Summary: BORING
Review: I always liked Enddings. When I bought this book I was not very sure, because I was studing for my exams and I thought that if I started another Eddings book I would never get any study done. Big mistake!It is one of the most boring books I ever read, I couldn't even finish it. This book has nothing to do with the rest of Eddings books; I hoped to find a book with lots of action and I found a very slow book, with no action and poor characters. The only good thing about this book is that it did not steal my time and I could prepare my exams.And I pass them..!
