I will continue with book four though, after a break to reinvigorate my reading habits once more. ( )This is the third book in the Belgariad (Book 1 and Book 2). This book like the others was an enjoyable quick and easy read. I am starting to rethink my comments about these books being good for young readers -- it just occurred to me that a lot of people die in these books. They're all bad guys, and the violence isn't all that graphic, but I guess it might worry some parents. http://www.stillhq.com/book/David_Edd... See Pawn of Prophecy. Necromancer less than Nine. Garion's magical powers are getting stronger, it seems, as he now has the ability to raise the dead. Even if not particularly a useful example when you can only do it to a horse. They still have orb retrieval issues, as more than one bad guy would be happy to have this handy little trinket. War, ghosts, shadowcat like stunts, and a good old epic magic duel to end. http://notfreesf.blogspot.com/2008/04... More interesting characters and challenges as they wander the world trying to stop the evil prophecy. Definitely worth reading. 0.101 seconds to build listing no reviews | add a review
Amazon.com Book Description (ISBN 0345300777, Mass Market Paperback)The Belgariad Book #3Ce'Nedra, Imperial Princess of Tolnedra, was confused. Everyone knows the tales of the Orb protecting the West from the evil God Torak are just silly legends. But here she is, forced to join a dangerous quest to recover that stolen Orb. No one believes in sorcery, but Garion's aunt and grandfather seem to be the fabled sorcerers Polgara and Belgarath. Even young Garion is learning to do socerey. Garion, a farm boy is totally unsuitable for an Imperial Princess. Yet, for some reason she has the urge to brush back his hair, and comfort him. Now he is going to a strange evil tower to face some horrible, powerful magician, and she cannot be there to watch over him. He might be killed, and she may never see him again.
