5.0 out of 5 stars
The best modern fantasy writer bar none!,
By Adam Short (Lancashire, UK) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Belgariad Set, Books 1-5: Pawn of Prophecy, Queen of Sorcery, Magician's Gambit, Castle of Wizardry, & Enchanter's End Game (Mass Market Paperback)
Eddings is a master of the genre. He is not so much a writer of traditional fantasy as he is a writer of character fantasy. The characters are what make this work so compelling. Every one is modelled in minute detail and realised beautifully. Eddings' wit and flair for pulling the heart strings make this as memorable and deserving a classic as Lord of The Rings.

Eddings is the best! There's no-one like him.,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Belgariad Set, Books 1-5: Pawn of Prophecy, Queen of Sorcery, Magician's Gambit, Castle of Wizardry, & Enchanter's End Game (Mass Market Paperback)
David Eddings is my favorite author - his books are extremly funny and well written, and all the characters are totally realistic. When you've entered the world of "The belgariad", Belgarath, Polgara, Garion, Ce'Nedra, Silk, Barak, and all the others become persons you know as well as any living person. Absolutly ingenious!

This is, I believe, Eddings' first real foray into the realm of true Fantasy, and it doesn't disappoint. Eddings does well to develop characters over time and doesn't sacrifice depth for brevity. I've always enjoyed the sense of humor he brings to his works and the repartee that develops between the characters. If you are looking for a great starter series in the fantasy genre or a more developed work, look no further. Those looking for the complexity and seriousness of high-fantasy should stick with Tolkien and Donaldson. This was one of my favorite starting fantasy series, and continues to entertain after all these years.
