It all begins with the theft of the Orb that for so long protected the West from an evil god. As long as the Orb was at Riva, the prophecy went, its people would be safe from this corrupting power. Garion, a simple farm boy, is familiar with the legend of the Orb, but skeptical in matters of magic. Until, through a twist of fate, he learns not only that the story of the Or ...more

I'm a closet sci-fi/fantasy/adventure fan. I make no apologies for that. And I'll make no apologies for loving this series of books. I've read this series at least a dozen times and it never fails to entertain.

This series is deceptive. Because the five books are quick reads, it can be easy to dismiss them as light reading in the genre. They're not. Mark Twain once apologize for writing a long letter because he didn't have time to write a short one. David Eddings (and his noncredited co-author wi ...more

The Belgariad series and its sequel, the Mallorean series (also 5 books) are some of the best fantasy novels you will ever read. Unlike most fantasy books, it is relatively easy to quickly figure out the world in which they take place. The characters are absolutely fantastic - some of the best characters in any fantasy book I've ever read. I think Silk is my favorite. So read all 10 of these books. They are great!

Okay, what to say about Eddings?

Let me start by saying that while LOTR was the first fantasy I read (back in the early 90's, when there was a sense that there wasn't a fantasy genré yet, at least not in the small time where I lived, there was just SF and then there was LOTR) Eddings was the one that made me a fantasy fan.

There's a lot of (for good reasons!) dismissing of Eddings, yes, it's a simple narrative, yes, the characters are stereotypes, yes, it's sometimes pretty blatantly racist, he re ...more

This is the series that really got me hooked into the fantasy genre. The pace at which the story moves along is one of the best... introducing you to the innocent, somewhat naive farmboy Garion, who quickly grows on you as everything that has been kept secret from him is slowly revealed, forcing him to come to grip with his destiny. The variety of characters and their unique personalities are great, and the often funny banter between the characters makes this a guaranteed enjoyable read!

Truly great story. When I read LOTR, I was left with images of all of these grim people with little in the way of comic relief.......to which you might respond "Sauron's got the world practically in his grasp, what's the humor in that?" I just think that I'd rather sit down and have a drink with Belgarath, Silk, Barak and company rather than Gandalf and Frodo.

Having said that, LOTR is the far superior work, but I don't think that Eddings had that sort of goal with his series. Just a lot of fun t ...more

The Belgariad is the best series of books I have ever read.

The books take you into a well defined world, each country very different from the next, and envelops the reader in such a riveting story-line that he would want to never put the book down.

The series is full of magic (sorcery), action, and believeble characters.

Yes, you are reading that correctly - this is a fantasy series of five books. Actually, ten, for there is a sequel series of five called The Mallorean, although it isn't quite as good. As would would expect in a series of such length, there are many characters and storylines, but not so many that you get lost in them. The five books of the Belgariad are wonderfully creative; Eddings creates a fantasy world that is fun to become part of.

I had never read a book like that. I still haven't. My opinion on the series may have changed somewhat on my latest reread but David Eddings still writes the best dialogue on the planet.

If this series was written today, it would have been YA, and some details would have changed--not for the better. The main character Garion ranges from 14 to about 16 through the course of the novels. It was written at a time when the age of the protagonist did not immediately categorize a work, so Eddings was able to deal with adult material that his young hero didn't necessarily pick up on but mature readers would, yet told plainly and cleanly. There is some light commentary on social and domestic issues, and the violence is somewhat restrained and justified.

It has been years since the last time I picked it up. But I was in the need of chicken soup style comfort, so I was moved to spend time with Garion and co. again. The flaws that bothered me were much more abundant and pronounced in the Mallorean than here in the Belgariad, but they were still there. David Eddings has an almost unlimited magical system, where these sorcerers live forever and can do anything. With such lack of constraints, it is understandable that you run into plot holes from time to time. There are small scenes that are hard to justify, a "why didn't they just--?" sort of question that occurs to the reader. A sort of an explanation is presented to cover most of it, but it's a stretch to make it do for all. However, there is a simple, straightforward charm about the Belgariad, both the characters and the quest are fun and engaging, and I have always loved roaming his world--where the idea of national identity is raised to new heights. ...more

Probably my favorite series. I got hooked on this in early, early high school and it's still the story I compare similar books to when I try to decide if they're good or not. Unfortunately, near as I can tell, everything else David Eddings wrote sucked so the jury's still out on who my favorite author is.

I like this series because it's really easy to read. The characters have qualities that make them engaging and their relationships with one another are well defined and detailed. Eddings' dialog flows naturally, like a casual conversation would, including little things that written dialog usually lacks; inside jokes, references not everyone in the scene is meant to catch, private innuendos... even the speaker getting sidetracked. The way his characters talk to one another feels very organic, and that makes it easy to read. Too many fantasy settings these days are getting too deeply rooted in the "darker and grittier" setting (ala, anything by George RR Martin), but that's not true here. This is good, clean and light. Excellent for bedtime reading, which is pretty much all I do.

This is an old, tried and true fantasy model that he's used here. Hero on a quest for a magic thingamagig, aided by a wizard, thwarted by a villain, rewarded with a heroine. Yeah, that sums up just about every high fantasy story ever told. He uses it as a framework and not a crutch, but that won't keep some of us from being able to see where the story is about to go. His big reveals tend to be a bit predictable, but still fun.

And that brings me to the point: fun. Eddings has been accused of belting out this story in thirteen volumes just to make a buck, but truthfully he actually only barely broke even writing them. Moreover, he was working what he called a "real job" while he wrote them, and is quoted saying "nobody writes to get rich". But he had fun with this series, and because of that I did too.

Start with Pawn of Prophecy and read it. It's the shortest book and introduces all the important elements of the series. Worst case scenario, it's too light for you. All you've lost is a week you could have spent gambling on the quality of something else. ...more

In the Belgariad, David Eddings leverages archetypes to the hilt--the orphaned child of destiny, the old and wise advisor, the protective mother-of-all--and weaves them into a beautiful detailed world, populated by people in nations who seem determined to live up to every stereotype about their race. What might have otherwise come across as dull and repetitive characterization instead turns into an insider joke of which the reader is a part.

These books are entertaining, up to a point. Even as a teenager, when I was most into these novels, however, I started skimming at the end of the series, wanting to know what was going to happen, but wanting to skip Eddings' verbosity and plot twists that were created for their own sake.

This is the weaker of the two major series he writes. This is probably because Garion is the kind of hero who is too good for his own good and therefore fairly boring. One usually looks to the slightly crusty Bel ...more

The Belgariad by David Eddings consists of five books; Pawn of Prophecy, Queen of Sorcery, Magician’s Gambit, Castle of Wizardry, and Enchanters’ End Game. This is just one five book series out of two that make up the base of work Eddings put together for his created universe. The second five-book series is called The Malloreon. I’ll be reading and reviewing that as well in the future. Then there are some supplementary texts.

This is just one five book series out of two that make up the base of work Eddings put together for his created universe. The second five-book series is called The Malloreon. I’ll be reading and reviewing that as well in the future. Then there are some supplementary texts. There are two prequels based on two central characters entitled Belgarath the Sorcerer, and Polgara the Sorceress. Then there is also a book entitled The Rivan Codex which is a kind of behind the scenes book to how Eddings and his wife put the whole thing together. I just wanted to let you know that if you picked up Pawn of Prophecy and thought it sounded interesting, here’s what you’re getting yourself into. There is a lot of content to read - which can be good or bad, depending on how you look at it. Let me explain.

I made the choice after finishing the first book that I was going to wait until I finished the whole first series to write a review. The reason why was because 1) I went through the book so quickly, and 2) I didn’t feel like I had read enough to write a review on. The first book didn’t have a sense of completeness to it. Rather than each book being a solid and complete story in and of itself, I realized that this series was more like one story being told over the course of five books. I don’t really care for that, but I wasn’t going to quit reading the series because of it. A lot of series do that, so if I refused to read every series that does, I’d be left with even less potential reading material. It’s just a pet peeve of mine that I feel like each book in a series should be able to stand on its own as well as be part of the whole, and this series didn’t hold up to that standard.

Then I ran into a snag. I was getting the audiobook versions of the books on loan from my library’s e-library service. I went through books 1-3 super fast. Then, when it came time to read book 4, I had to wait 127 days for it to be available. That really put a damper on things. Also, in the downtime, I started two other series. One of which is another completed series, but the other one only has the first book published. This is all on top of the fact that my memory already sucks. So, I may not get into specifics with this review. For that, I apologize. I will do my best though to give you a general overview with my spoiler-free review and hope it suffices. However, I will probably end up doing a review for each book in the Malloreon to try and avoid something similar to this from happening again.

Now that I’m really getting into my review of The Belgariad, let me just say that had I read this when I was a kid - I would have absolutely loved it. I told my wife that after reading the first book. The problem with that is simply that these books are not children’s books. There are themes and scenes that are more adult oriented that let me know for certain that these are absolutely not children’s books, yet I felt like the quality of writing was what I would expect from a children’s book. That would not have stopped me from reading these books as a kid, but it would mean that as a kid I would not have been the intended audience. I felt this was an important distinction to make. As soon as I began reading this series, and lasting all the way through it, all I could think as a writer was that this is a perfect example of what we’re always being told NOT to do. Everything was a trope. Everything felt cliche. Everything was entirely predictable. It got annoying quick.

That’s not to say that I didn’t enjoy the series though. I allowed myself to enjoy it, in spite of all that. Like I said, I realized that if I read this as a kid, before I had come to expect certain things from writing, I would have absolutely loved it. So, I tried to let myself love it now. The story is interesting and had me hooked, regardless of how “tropey” it was. The characters are diverse and relatable - some are even lovable. The setting spanned over a large continent that was interesting and different. The plot was pretty standard, good vs evil, light vs dark. Everything was preordained - except for how it would end because that could go one of two ways.
There are plenty of subplots going on as well, but they’re all rather obvious as well. The group that was assembled was pretty typical with each character representing something similar to what you’d expect from a class in DnD. They are part of the party because “the prophecy” says they must be, and of course their purpose is revealed through key moments where only they could get the group out of their current situation. It’s all just SO cliche. But, it was a fun ride. Even though each book didn’t stand apart on its own very well, the series as a whole did wrap up the story nicely, all the while setting up the continuation of events that are sure to follow in The Malloreon. I think that if you’ve read a lot of stories/series similar to this one (meaning, very cliche and very tropey), then you may be too jaded to let yourself enjoy this one. I haven’t read a lot of them, so I was able to let myself enjoy this series despite all its faults. I just had to remember that tropes became tropes because they work. That’s why they’re so prevalent. We are just challenged as writers today to come up with new ways to use the tropes so that they seem fresh and interesting. At the time, I’m sure this was fresh and interesting. It just seems so overused and cliche now because so many other people copied him and authors like him.

One of my other major complaints about this series was how I felt like it could have been done in fewer books. I think with more editing, a lot of useless stuff could have been cut, other things could have been moved around, and it could probably have been honed down into a trilogy. After doing a little research though, I found out that this was largely due to Eddings’ publishers. They were very clear and rigid in what they wanted Eddings to do because it was what they thought would sell the best. They wanted x amount of volumes, with roughly x amount of words, in about x amount of time. Another peeve of mine was the title of the last book in the series (because there are no enchanters in the books) but come to find out that was due to the publishers too. The title Eddings wanted to use was a lot better in my opinion, but they felt it was too many words to look good on the cover. I think that these things were errors on the publishers part, but the series seems to have been rather successful and has quite the fan following even still, so maybe they were right.

The last thing I wish to point out is the lack of character progression. The supporting characters don’t change, and it could be argued that they don’t need to. They are who they are, and that’s who they needed to be due to the prophecy, so if they changed they would no longer be who the prophecy needed. Fine. My main issue is with the protagonist. Garion really doesn’t change through the whole series. Honestly, if he’s still the same in The Malloreon, I’m going to be really hard pressed to get through it. The kid is numb. You would think that after the shit he’s been through, he might have smartened up a bit. I would at least expect him to have a hardened exterior - at least a little bit! Something. I just wish there would have been something. I have a hard time believing that the events Garion has gone through wouldn’t have changed him more than they did. I guess that I will kind of understand if the real shift in his character comes out in The Malloreon, but I think we should have at least started to see it in these books. No matter how I try and defend it in my head to play devil’s advocate, I just can’t come up with anything good. I think this is a huge fault in the series. It doesn’t make it unreadable, but I just wish it was done better.

All in all, I rate this series with 4 stars. I acknowledge that this series has its faults, but I still found it enjoyable to read on the whole, and I think you might too. If you’re too jaded by other stories similarly as tropey, you may not be able to let yourself enjoy this one, but I think you should try. Even though I got annoyed by certain things, and stayed annoyed by them throughout the series because they kept occurring, I wouldn’t say that these books were hard for me to get through. Quite the contrary: I flew through them. So I say give ‘em a read and let me know what you think. Cheers!

The Belgariad by David Eddings is one of those epic sword-and-sorcery fantasies. It was a good story, with lots of interesting characters, a detailed world and a unique sorcery system. I quite enjoyed it.

One thing I didn’t enjoy about it though, was that it was in many ways very very similar to Lord of the Rings. I realize that LOTR is a seminal fantasy work, and it’s hard to be completely unique and still have a similar storyline, but there were quite a few times that I thought - as I was read The Belgariad by David Eddings is one of those epic sword-and-sorcery fantasies.

One thing I didn’t enjoy about it though, was that it was in many ways very very similar to Lord of the Rings. I realize that LOTR is a seminal fantasy work, and it’s hard to be completely unique and still have a similar storyline, but there were quite a few times that I thought - as I was reading the book - “Oh, look, it’s just like LOTR.“

The gods created the world and man to entertain. Each god adopted a race of people, except for Aldur, who kept to himself and took on a few men to be his disciples. He taught them sorcery, and they lived for many years. Aldur also made the orb, a thing of great power, that he used to make things more beautiful. But Torak, Aldur’s brother, was jealous of the orb, and he stole it and used it for evil. A large contingent of men from many races made war on Torak and his race, and they were able to wrest the orb from Torak, which they took away and placed in the throne room in the palace of the Isle of Winds. The Rivan people of the Isle of Winds were tasked with keeping the orb safe from Torak. And Torak went to sleep, even though he was in great pain from the orb. And time passed. (See how this feels like Lord of the Rings?)

Faldur’s Farm, in the midst of Sendaria is a normal farm. It is also the only home Garion has ever known. Garion’s Aunt Pol is the chief cook, but she may be more than she seems. When rumor reaches the farm that the orb has been stolen, Aunt Pol and Mister Wolf, the old storyteller, take Garion on a journey that changes his life.

I don’t want to give anything away, because it was a good story. Garion is likeable and I really liked Aunt Pol. There are many other characters as well, a quest, several large duels, chases, escapes, true love, miracles…(yes, really) In fact, The Belgariad would make a fantastic movie. I hope they make one, but be sure and read the book before any such film comes out, because it’s a good one! ...more
