David Eddings


THE BELGARIAD

This series was great! It is fairly long for its story line but it delves into characters' personalities and you really get to know the characters. Fantasy with your normal swords, heroes and magic. Action and adventure! Patrick W.
Rating: ****

Pawn of Prophecy

The Belgariad starts out with a boy named Garion on a farm in a land called Sendaria.  His Aunt Pol and a man named Mister Wolf lead him into an adventure where he meets new companions along the way.  I couldn't put the book down and I recommend the series highly.  Zachary W.
Rating: *****

I liked this book. I liked how it's easy to predict who Aunt Pol is, but another character's identity threw me. It was a good book. Sarah A.

Magician's Gambit

The series gets better each time. The land of ghosts was really neat, and I liked the new character Relg. The confrontation with Ctuchik was set up really well. Sarah A.
Rating: ****

This book is a great book that brings up some interesting issues between two important characters. It also introduces a unique character named Relg. Mary Kay T.
Rating: ****

Castle of Wizardry

The series is still just as good if not better. Errand is a neat addition and a mystery. When Garion, Silk, and Belgarath snuck out I loved Polgara's tantrum. C'Nedra as the Rivan Queen is great! Sarah A.
Rating: ****

This book was full of excitement and showed the impact of love. It makes you want to keep on reading so you can finish and go on to the final book. Mary Kay T.
Rating: *****

Enchanter's Endgame

Following Silk, Garion and Belgarath means surprises everywhere. Ce'Nedra's war is realistic because it has people die. The ending is unbelievable! Sarah A.
Rating: *****


THE MALLOREAN

This is a sequel series to The Belgariad and I think it is just as good. This is another questing series of Eddings, only with a new enemy. Only for action/adventure and fantasy readers. Patrick W.
Rating: ****

Guardians of the West

This book is a little slow, but it picks up near the end. It might help to read the Belgariad. Try the book and don't give up on it because it starts out boring. Dan W.
Rating: **

This is slow for the first part, not much action at all. The characters aren't all together, too, so it skips a lot! It isn't as good as the first series, but the second book sounds good. Sarah A.
Rating: ***

An excellent fantasy story. It had some really funny parts! I really like David Eddings' books. They have great plots and wonderful characters. I really like Garion, Ce'Nedra, and Belgarath. I recommend it! Katherine D.
Rating: *****

King of the Murgos

This was just as good as the others. It's great that Silk has a brother. Two of them is almost two much! Sarah A.
Rating: ****

This book is much better than the first book of this series. The book contains a lot of adventure and battles. You would not understand this book very well if you did not read the first one. Dan W.

Sorceress of Darshiva

The book is well written and the story flows. This is the second to last book in the series. You learn more about the end but it is impossible to think of what happens. Dan W.

A great sequel to number three in this series! A lot of action and some very unexpected surprises! Zandramas was very interesting to learn more about! Katherine D.

THE ELENIUM

The Diamond Throne

The book picks up very quickly. You are wrapped in what you think is the plot. At the very end you find out what the real quest is for. I enjoyed the book very much. Tyson M.
Rating: ****

This is a great book full of adventure and fighting. Dan W.

The Ruby Knight

If you've read the Belgariad or the Mallorean this book is a little predictable but it's still exciting. You're going to be ready for The Sapphire Rose when you finish this book. Tyson M.
