I read this book ages ago and wasn't too struck on it. I found it a bit sketchy about what it was about, seemed to lack some sort of depth and possibly needed to be made easier to understand and Esme really got on my nerves. lol What did anyone else think? Feel free to reccommend any other...

As a fan of Fantasy I'm constantly berated by my peers for not having read any Eddings. I have a real hunger for reading and my only real reason for not picking up one of his books before is because he simply has so many on the market and I'm unclear as to where to start. If anyone could offer...

Happy Estratide everyone!

if you could live anywhere in any of the eddings books where would it be? Id love to live in drasnia, and be a spy of course.

ive been reading eddings for years now and i love them they give me that glowy feeling, but it really anoys me that the woman all seem to be americanised modrn women, i wish just for once that there would be a proper lady, lol

Hey, i downloaded the Pawn of Prophecy: Belgariad book 1. Can someone paste me the last line from the book, so I know if I got the whole thing? Thx in advanced.

Hi, I've recently bought Belgarath the Sorcerer from my work and was wondering if it would be ok if I read this book before reading the Gariad series as it's said to be prequel. My work doesnt actually stock any other books from the gariad but they wouldn't be too hard to track down. We mainly...

I cant get my head round it.. Let me explain. I love fantasy books, Gemmell and George Martin in particular but this book just skips over all the detail, i mean the size of it, which is tiny, indicates to me the lack of detail within it. its just all so simple! story is fine in itself but just...

Anyone know what The crest is? I forgot..I know its a Hawk with its wings spread....but thats all i know. :/ any help would be loved

What are your favourite moments in any of David Eddings' novels? In my opinion, for drama you can't beat the scene in Enchanter's End Game, just after Durnik's death, when Belgarath fights Zedar. Another good moment is when Sparhawk and the others hurry to free Ehlana just as the Cyrgai change...

Or rather, skill vs magic. I've often wondered whilst I was reading Eddings' books about the difference between his characters that use magic (ie the Will and the Word) and those who use weapons or skills, (such as fighting ability, stealth or horsemanship). Whilst I like the big magical...

ok.. Polgara/Belgarath forced the Borunes to take Dryad wives.. right? But dryads live for about the same time their oak tree live (3000 years or so) So.. wouldnt some of Ce'Nedra's grandmother's grandmother's greatgrandmother's great... etcetc still be alive?

Hi, I am new to the board, but I have been reading Eddings since the early '80's, I have a couple of questions I hope some one can answer. What are Polgara's children, boys or girls or both? And what image is on Garion's amulet? I have read these books backwards and forwards and I can't find the...

It is very important for people to realize that David Eddings was not the sole Author of these books.

elo alls (ima newcomer :D ) I just wanted your guys opinion on why Zandramas stole Geran and not Eriond.... She needed a person "One who have touched the other stone may touch this one" That means Geran.. yes... But why not Eriond?

this has perplexed me for a while. Since Garion is a sorcerrywouldn't he have a expanded life like the other disciples of Aldur. If that was the case would he just step down from the throne so that Geran can take the crown/

I've only just finished the first two books and I can't go any farther. It's like bad anime. Repeating dialogue, useless flashbacks, storyline that goes nowhere, and 2 dimensional charictars.

Hey I'm new to the site, has anyone noticed that aldurs orb and the orb from the series with sparkhawk (don't have the books with me so I cant check the spelling) are the same thing? theres a good and an evil side, they aren't the actual conbatants in the final parts or in most parts, they are...

What happened in 'The Younger Gods'? I haven't read the 2nd or 3rd books as I found the 1st one extremely poor. I have heard that the conclusion to this one is even worse and I'm curious. What exactly happens. I'm not planning to read it so as much detail as you are willing to give the better...
