THE DRIVE OF PROPHECYThe quest was over. The Orb of Aldur was restored. And once again, with the crowning of Garion, there was a descendant of Riva Iron-grip to rule as Overlord of the West.
But the Prophecy was unfulfilled. In the east, the evil God Torak was about to awaken and seek dominion. Somehow, Garion had to face the God, to kill or be killed. On the outcome of that dread duel rested the destiny of the world. Now, accompanied by his grandfather, the ancient sorcerer Belgarath, Garion headed toward the City of Endless Night, where Torak awaited him.
To the south, his fiancée, the princess Ce'Nedra, led the armies of the West in a desperate effort to divert the forces of Torak's followers from the man she loved.
The Prophecy drove Garion on. But it gave no answer to the question that haunted him: How does a man kill an immortal God?

All five reviewed.This is a grand story that rattles along at a good pace.I liked: Garion and most of his chums. The story. The writing.I didn't like: Polgara. How sweet tempered Garion is.But all in all I'd say read this quintet it's worth your time.David Eddings finished strong! The conclusion of The Belgariad has it all - more of the loveable characters you've followed through the previous four books. War. Adventure. An epic quest. Enchanters' End Game brings us to the final confrontation between Garion and Torak, one which will come at great personal cost to our heroes and even to the universe itself. While the battle between Garion and Torak was the event to which the series had been building, to me the true climax of the book was the
The fifth and final book in Edding's Belgariad series has a distinctly "Return of the King" flavour, but it is dogged by many of the same problems found in the earlier books. While the bulk of the fellowship is leading the armies of the west into battle with the assembled army of the forces of evil, a smaller part of the fellowship ventures into the dark city where the sleeping god waits to be be reawoken as an object of great and terrible power that he desires is brought ever closer. The two
I quite enjoyed this series, and the wide array of characters that were woven together to make the whole adventure work.
Meh. I like many of the characters, but they do the same things in the same way for 5 books and it just wore on me. Many things were resolved too easily, and some were not resolved at all except in a sentence. e.g. Barak's been freaking out about his bear possession for 5 books and it's resolved in one sentence in a flashback saying now he's dealt with it. Ce'Nedra was apparently supposed to show maturity and growth, but I think she showed very little progression. It's hard to root for this
I devoured this & the previous book in a day. I'm trying to baby a bad back & this was a perfect excuse to do so. It was a good ending to a fun series - sort of. There are some loose ends & it is clearly stated that the prophecy doesn't end here, but I can easily & will. The Mallorean, another 5 book series, picks up where this leaves off & isn't quite as good. It's more of the same - too much so - so it's a let down. The flaws in this series & Eddings' writing become
This is a review of the whole series, as I've read all of them recently and what I have to say pretty much applies to all the books in the series. I almost loved these books as much as I do Robin Hobb's. The characters in these novels are rather diverse as everybody has their own strengths and failings. Moreover, almost all of the character go through some kind of transformation, either smaller changes, like the less important characters, or bigger ones, when the character is more important to
