Summary: Please, no more ..
Review: I have this very strong urge to read everything connected with the Bel/Mal series, but this last book spoiled the pleasure I experienced reading the Belgariad. I'm thoroughly bored by Polgara, who seems to know what's good for everyone. Knowing what she was like as a teenager was totally unbelievable to me. I've started rereading the Bel/Mal series and this last book has managed to spoil those for me. I've come to the conclusion that the best part of ALL these books is the first page of the first book: the smells in Faldor's kitchen. What's beginning to irritate more and more are the female characters, they are flat as (rice)paper. They seem to develop or change but three books later they still react in the same smug manner. So that's why I say: "no more". I want to keep some of the pleasure I felt reading it the first time. (Apoligies if my English isn't quite good, my milklanguage is Dutch)

Summary: it was okay
Review: I found that this book was great but only because of the characters.They were vivid,imaginative and very likeable.Apart from that the story was witty and had me bursting out laughing frequently with their witty remarks and so so cute and likeable characters.It was great and absorbing during the begining but i found my attention trailing off in the middle of the story.Why is it that most of the events that take place seem to repeat itself so frequently in this book that I seem to predict everything that happens next?I found reading these parts extremely tiring and no longer looked forward to knowing what was happening next...well,at least the ending summed up the story well.Anyway,all in all I'll have to say that I quite enjoyed this book (minus the middle) and found Polgara,Belgarath and all the other characters most lovable and it was really funny too!!

Summary: it was an ok book
Review: Didn't you think all the characters were smug? It seemed refreshing in the first two series but I got tired of it by the time I finished this book.

Summary: David Eddings' books are exciting, but plain.
Review: I think that this book was a great finish to the Belgariad\Mallorean series. It covered just about everything that I'd wondered about. However, as in all of Mr. Edding's books, all of the characters begin to lose their individuality. Here is a line: "Nobody's perfect!" This line is a good turnaround comeback, and is funny the first time a character says it. However, pretty soon, two or three characters are saying it every time they are accused of being 'Dishonest' or 'a scoundral'. Edding's work is great for younger readers, but I would truly recommend some Robert Jordan, or Stephen R. Donaldson for people that like a bit more than a predictable story with predictable characters.

Summary: COOL!
Review: I really liked this book, but you need to read the Belgariad and the Mallorean to understand this book. Belgarath the sorcerer would help too. But it is neat anyway.

Summary: It's a very good book.
Review: I think that this book is one of the best that I've ever read. I like it because it closes up the story of Belgarion and the Orb very nicely. I would like to hear more from Poledra or Beldin, though. I really enjoyed the one liners that pop up every now and then because they let you get on the same level as the character. I've read it about 10 times and I'll probably read it 10 more.

Summary: Eh... not awful, but way too long
Review: This book was OK. Not awful, not great, just OK. It was too long, and too much of it was spent in whining and going on and on about trivial details. It didn't have anywhere near the excitement or interest of the Belgariad or Mallorean. I'd love to see new books from Mr. Eddings that take place in the same world with the same characters, but it's time to stop re-hashing the same story over and over and over again for different perspectives. And for all of you who worte "THIS IS THE BEST BOOK EVER! IT'S GRETA JUST BECAUSE IT'S EDDINGS!! I GIVE IT A TEN EVEN THOUGH I HAVEN'T READ IT"... get a life. No author is perfect every time, and only about twenty books in the world deserve a ten.

Summary: a fitting closure to a wonderful world
Review: a wonderful book to fill all the blank spaces in the stories of the belgariad and the malloreon. i have totally enjoyed this story and all the others that went with it. as the thought of continuing them, while it might be find of intresting to hear about beldin or poledra, the world has already been saved, what more do you want?

Summary: Terrific
Review: I loved this book~not only did it keep me busy during easter vacation, but it enertained me too. Although I have to admit that the part(s) about her raising the Rivan children were somewhat boring, altogether it was very good. I enjoyed the parts with Killane, although disliked the parts wiht Ontrose. It was obviously a triumph for Leigh Eddings, since she probably wrote more of it than David, seeing that it's taken from a woman's point of view. A fitting crown jewel to the Eddings' Belgariad and Mallorean cycles. BRAVO!!!
