It's a perfect beginning for the Mallorean. It's sad though that Mandorallen,Hettar,Barak and Lelldorin won't be coming along. It was terrible that king Rhodar and Brand died during the story.Cool how Garion&co wiped out the Cult of the Bear(at last). If i could i would give this book 10.000 stars, but i can't so five will do for now.

As a Tad Williams fan who appreciates a realistic 80% mortality rate among the heroes, formidable villains, dense plotting and haunting settings, Eddings 'Mallorean' reads like a happy romp through a schoolyard on a spring day. Eddings' narrative devotes multiple pages to building up various baddies, who are then dispatched in the space of one when encountered by omnipotent heroes. Very shortly anything the villains say sounds trite and inconsequential, however threatening. The entire series should have 'Suspense Free!' stamped on it.

I see nothing wrong with Eddings Belgariad and Mallorea books. From the man that in my mind pioneered the Fantasy genere, and maybe even gave way to books like "Wheel of Time" by Robert Jordan and "Sword of Truth" by Terry Goodkind. I for one was esctatic about the revisit of old characters, especially Silk, who is by far my most favorite. Keep in mind, that these books were the product of the 80's, and modern 90's fantasy writing was still in the works, but in my opinion, Eddings was way ahead of his time.

I orignally got this book, plus King of Murgos and Demon Lord of Karadas as a Christmas present years ago, shortly after book 3 was released in paperback. Once I started reading, it was instand magic. I finished the three books, and started over again, I couldn't get enough of it. Human characters, that are serious, but have a dash of humor. Not enough to be a comedy, but enough so that it isn't just dull and serious all the time. Now, I pretty much compare all the fantasy books I read to Mr. Eddings style. I love it
