recommended for: a comfort read: predictable, but entertaining
Somewhere in the middle of book three is when I start to wonder: does anyone out there actually read a standard heroic journey myth with most of their attention on the main character? After all, one knows exactly what's in store for Garion. It's hardly a spoiler if I tell you he's going to tromp in and out of every kingdom on the continent before heading off to fight the final battle.
No, it's not the hero who's the key player in the heroic journey. The real action's off on the sidelines, where your cranky old sage and your bitter, sardonic guide are engaged in a game of one-upmanship via one-liners.
(I will not write Belgarath/Silk slash. I will not write Belgarath/Silk slash. I will not write....)
