Product Description

Book Description

The first book of the Malloreon.

Product Description

Warned by the prophecy that a new and greater danger threatens the lands of the west, Garion, Belgarath and Polgara must begin another quest to save the lands from great evil. Three years have passed since Garion's killing of the evil god Torak and his marriage to Ce'Nedra. He is now Overlord of the West, slowly learning how to cope with the duties of a king and to overcome the difficulties within his marriage.When the Orb of Aldur warns Garion to 'Beware Zandramas!' the Voice of Prophecy reveals that somewhere in the unknown land of the East the Dark Prophecy still exists and that great new dangers threaten.While Belgarath and Garion seek to uncover the nature of this threat, Garion's baby son is kidnapped. All evidence points to the loathsome Bear-cult, which has gained power once more, and Garion leads an army bent on its destruction. But there are even more sinister forces at work, and Garion and his followers must look towards the malign and mysterious evil of Zandramas. Their quest must begin again.THUS BEGINS BOOK ONE OF THE MALLOREON

Family reunion 12 Oct 2000
By A Customer
Format:Paperback
After I read "The Belgariad", I longed for more about Garion, Polgara, Silk and the rest of the gang and I must say my wishes were more than granted in "The Malloreon". Garion and Ce'Nedra turned out to be even nicer as adults than as adolescents and the plot is once again very gripping. You really know the characters now and reading "Guardians of the West" was like a family reunion. I loved all those nice character scenes in it and it was very exciting, as well. I read the other four books of "The Malloreon" in very short time and I was very sorry to have finished them. When you really want to finish a story yet feel sorry when you've finished it, you know it's good. And when it comes to that, Eddings is the best!

Being a David Gemmel fan and having read just about every one of his books I thought it might be time to try a different author. This is book 1 of 5 in this series so it basically sets the scene for the rest, in my opinion it starts quite slow, with lots of information about the cast of the story with little or no action, boring...or so I thought!, David Eddings tells a fantastic story and I will continue reading his books, in fact, book 2 in this series is already on its way!

By Jack CH VINE™ VOICE
Format:Paperback
David and Leigh Eddings aim to revisit the characters from the original series but abuses our affection for them by

1) using identical plot devices and settings from the Belgariad (and then explaining almost word for word in the tale why they can justify this).
2) developing a rambling style which was limited and tolerable in the original Belgariad but widespread and almost insufferable here.

Don't get me wrong. This whole series is satisfactory. It adds to the original universe. But whereas the feel of original Belgariad was earnest and charming, The Malloreon is almost smug.

The first book is forgivable in this regard because it feels the that you are catching up with the folks you haven't seen in a while.

But because I do not plan to review the others, and by reading the first of five a dedicated reader will mean to go on to read the rest, I will share the comment of a reviewer of "Gone with the Wind":-

A labour of love or a love of labour.

Trust me, you'll feel like it when you finish this series.

(FYI the whole series is a two and a half and the latter books range from 2 to 3 stars.)
