Summary: The End of a Great Beginning
Review: The Belgariad, and specifically these last two instalments of the series are the end of a great beginning to the fantasy of David and Leigh Eddings. Garion's quest reaches it's climax and all the pieces of the prophecy come together like a well woven tapestry. The story may be conventional. It follows the quest archetype very well. However the characters are fantastically developed. The Eddings make them real, and that makes it easy to be more concerned about what happens to them. The writing is excellent in my opinion, and the plot is tightly woven. I will say however that Eddings seems to improve every time he goes back to a set of characters, and I highly recomend the Mallorean after you finish the Belgariad. In my oppinion Eddings just keeps getting better.

Summary: Classic book, the wizard of oz of fantasy novels!
Review: The story (beginning in Vol 1) is your classic good vs. evil. For those who have read the Belgaraid Vol 1. this is a must have. For those that are reading the review, but have not read Vol 1. (or the three books that it comprises) then stop, find it, and buy them both!Why? Learn how a young immature boy, and a young spoiled girl grow up "the hard way" with conflicts, battles, and hard lessons learned. They grow up fast, and become very memorable characters. Eddings does an amazing job fleshing out the characters in the Novel. Everyone has a personality, everyone has a reason to be there. Even the story itself seems to speak to you as if it is a stand-alone character. If you like fantasy novels like The Lord of the Rings (JRR), Icewind Dale (Salvatore), The Magician (Feist), etc. then you'll love these books.
