This review is from: The Belgariad, Vol. 2 (Books 4 & 5): Castle of Wizardry, Enchanters' End Game (Paperback)

I read The Belgariad over 10 years ago and has just finished reading the series the second time. I find myself enjoying it even more. The story maybe too familiar, good versus evil with a happy ending but I have a weakness for this kind of story. The strength of the series is the development of the wonderful characters, the smooth plot and of course the dry humour. The Belgariad is simply a timeless fantasy to be treasured.

The Belgarad is one of the, if not the, best work of fantasy out there today. I highly recomend it if you like High Fantasy. There are smiles and laughts around every page.

5.0 out of 5 stars A must-have series!!, September 2, 2002

This review is from: The Belgariad, Vol. 2 (Books 4 & 5): Castle of Wizardry, Enchanters' End Game (Paperback)

This series started it all for me. It was the first fantasy series I ever read, and I have to say, it's as good a read now, some 15 years later, as it was the first time I picked it up. Hard to believe it's been 20 years in print!!

I can't recommend this series (as well as the Malloreon, to follow) enough. Truly, IMHO it ranks second ONLY to the original Dragonlance Chronicles.
