LexRigby | May 29, 2009 |   Garion, once a simple farm lad, but now realizing his potential as a sorerer, has regained the stolen Orb of Aldur. Its song soars as Garian and his companions race to return it to its rightful home on the Island of Riva. It's a perilous journey through a desert teeming with murgo soldiers, while grolims strive to use their dark magic to destroy them. When Garion finally returns the Orb to the sword of the Rivian King and holds it aloft, a voice echoes in a dark tomb as his adversary - The evil God Torak - stirs after centuries of slumber... (  )Stir-Pink | Feb 9, 2009 | This is book four in the Belgariad, and was as good as the others. This one only took a day to read, but that was helped a lot by the two hours I spent commuting to and from San Francisco today. This book is a little different than the others because it starts just as the quest for the Orb ends. Yet it turns out that the overall prophecy that the Belgariad describes is still incomplete, so the story continues. http://www.stillhq.com/book/David_Edd...

With grumpy old wizard Belgarath and daughter out of action due to overindulgence in magic keeping everyone in one piece, it is up to Gation to be head mojo maker. Not only that, but this farm boy seems to have grown up to be a sorcerer and a king (don't injure your eyes roling them, here). The whole king thing is maybe not so cool when you find out you have to fight a god, even with a princess with the hots for you and the army she has put together. http://notfreesf.blogspot.com/2008/04...

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0345335708, Mass Market Paperback)END OF THE QUESTIt had all begun with the theft of the Orb that had so long protected the West from the evil God Torak. Before that, Garion had been a simple farm boy. Afterward, he discovered that his aunt was really the Sorceress Polgara and his grandfather was Belgarath, the Eternal Man. Then, on the long quest to recover the Orb, Garion found to his dismay that he, too, was a sorcerer. Now, at last, the Orb was regained and the quest was nearing its end. Of course, the questors still had to escape from this crumbling enemy fortress and flee across a desert filled with Murgo soldiers searching for them, while Grolim Hierarchs strove to destroy them with dark magic. Then, somehow, they must manage to be in Riva with the Orb by Erastide. After that, however, Garion was sure that his part in these great events would be finished. But the Prophecy still held future surprises for Garion--and for the little princess Ce'Nedra. This continues the magnificent epic of The Belgariad, begun in Pawn of Prophecy, Queen of Sorcery, and Magician's Gambit--a fantasy set against a background of the war of men, Kings, and Gods that had spanned seven thousand years--a novel of fate, strange lands, and a prophecy that must be fulfilled!

But anyway I enjoyed this book in the series, I actually wanted to find out what happens. Weird. I'll keep on trucking to the fifth and final book but will probably leave it there. I'm not interested in the next series following the characters of this book... I can't even remember what it's called, probably something boring though. (
