I liked the beginning of Edding's second series. This is the second book of the series, and we are still getting introduced to some of the new characters, and some new parts of Eddings' world. This similar to the first series, in that the plot mainly consists of travelling around the world, meeting new companions and being in the right place at the right time for momentous events. Even so, it isn't repetitive or boring. ( )

See my review for Book One. ( )

This entire series is wonderful. One of the earlier "young boy discovers that he's more than he was led to believe" stories. A classic in the fantasy genre that pulls you into a great read. ( )

A bit weaker than the other books.I'm also a bit annoyed, so long as the "Light" wins, they need to win again and again, but any victory of the "Dark" would be sufficient. Or so it seems. ( )

This is book two of the Malloreon, the sequel series to the Belgariad. Some people complain that this series is just a repeat of the previous series with some of the names changed, and I certainly used to think that myself. Now that I've read this book again I think that's unfair -- the story line is actually quite different, and the characters are generally older and wiser (which makes them feel more developed). I enjoyed this book, probably more than I did Guardians of the West.
