Interpretation In Pursuance Of Books Guardians of the West (The Malloreon #1)

Garion has slain the evil God Torak and been crowned King of Riva. The Prophecy was fulfilled—or so it seemed. While the strange child Errand was growing up in the Vale of Aldur with Polgara and Durnik, showing only occasional flashes of inexplicable knowledge and power, Garion was learning to rule and to be the husband of his fiery little Queen Ce’Nedra. Eleven years passed.

Then suddenly the Voice of Prophecy cried out a warning: “Beware Zandramas!” Not even Belgarath the Sorcerer knew who or what Zandramas was. But Garion discovered hints in a previously obscured part of the Mrin Codex. Worse, he learned that the Dark Prophecy was still waging its ancient struggle against the Prophecy of Light. Again, great evil was brewing in the East. And again, Garion found himself a pawn, caught between the two ancient Prophecies, with the fate of the world somehow resting on him.

Crit About Books Guardians of the West (The Malloreon #1)

This book was a 3.5 Stars for me. It was nice reading about the familiar characters of the first series, and it actually covers a couple of years. (view spoiler)[What happens usually to people already old and sick when you cover a couple of years? Alas, King Rhodar, your fatness bit you in the arse mate... Characters I was kind of fond of died. This is not necessarily a bad thing though. (hide spoiler)]I read the first series and figured that some of the things that bugged me in that one may

I haven't read a fantasy fiction novel in over a year. I thought I'd lost interest in the genre, a sad thing because I want to be a fantasy fiction novelist. I'm glad I decided to give this a go on my Kindle Touch.I generally forget characters from books I've read. Even if I've enjoyed the books, I forget characters soon unless it's an exception such as the Wheel of Time, Lord of the Rings or Harry Potter. I'm surprised that I recognised the names in this book despite having read about them last

*** 4.55 ***I can't help it! have this soft spot for the Fantasy of that time and its vibe hits just the right spot in my heart... Is it really deserving of almost 5 stars or is it sentimentality speaking? I have no idea. I only know, that if I had kids, I would totally start them off on this sort of Fantasy. It helps create idealistic dreamers, but without them, what good is life after all???

I find David Eddings an exceptional author. His stories are vivid, lifelike, and the characters are superb. He lives up to the reputation of being named 'America's version of Tolkien.' I've read his work for years and am rarely disappointed. The Malloreon Series is an excellent place to introduce yourself to Eddings if you're a first time reader of his work.

I have reviewed this book and series under a different edition. This is one of many re-reads, this time with the audiobooks.

Guardians of the West by David Eddings takes place 3 years after the anti-climatic ending to the Belgariad series. The first half of the book follows Errand as he moves to the Vale to live with Polgara, Durnik and the legendary but mischievous sorcerer Belgarath. The characters are fleshed out here much more so than in the second half where the action picks up and the story seems to be heading towards a retelling of 'The Belgariad'. The old prophecy that everyone had been waiting for and had

Disclaimer: THE BELGARIAD was the first adult fantasy series I read, in grade 5. I loved it so much I read them probably every couple years until 2 of the books literally fell apart. I wholeheartedly recommend them as an easy, fun intro-to-high-fantasy series. I only picked up the MALLOREAN at age 31--GUARDIANS OF THE WEST is #1 of that series. Pros: same great characters, same great land, same great sorcery premise!!! And Eddings still has some of the funny left. Cons: same great
