Book Description

24 Feb 1984 The Belgariad (TW) (Book 2)

A magnificent epic set against a history of seven thousand years of the struggles of Gods and Kings and men - of strange lands and events - of fate and a prophecy that must be fulfilled!

THE BELGARIAD

Legends told of how the evil God Torak had coveted the power of the Orb of Aldur, until defeated in a final battle.

But prophecy spoke of a time when he would awake and again seek dominance over all the world. Now the Orb had been stolen by a priest of Torak, and that time was at hand.

The master Sorcerer Belgarath and his daughter Polgara the arch-sorceress were on the trail of the Orb, seeking to regain it before the final disaster. And with them went Garion, a simple farm boy only months before, but now in the focus of the struggle. He had never believed in sorcery and wanted no part of it. Yet with every league they travelled, the power grew in him, forcing him to acts of wizardry he could not accept.

THUS CONTINUES BOOK TWO OF THE BELGARIAD

5.0 out of 5 stars Surprised for a second time by Eddings 11 Dec 2002
By Rummy
Format:Paperback
Queen of Sorcery, as well as Pawn of Prophecy, are two of the most surprising books I have read. I bought them expecting to just be stuck with a few more trashy fantasy books to read if i needed some light reading or something to critcize. Well, I was completely unprepared for what I found as I read these books. I found myself fully caught up in them. The plots of the books are just so great, I finished both of them in just a day or two each.

The plot really seems very simple: It's about a boy called Garion, who is travelling with his aunt Polgara, his grandfather Belgarath, and several other extremely interesting characters. They are on a quest to catch a thief who stole the Orb of Aldur, a very powerful magical artifact, before the thief can escape and use the Orb to awaken his god, Torak. Torak lies in sleep somewhere, and if he is awakened, he will bring war upon the peacful countries of the west.

That may not sound like anything special, but that is a completely simplified version, stripped down to the basics of the plot. The thing about it which really appeals to me is that this type of plot is exactly why I started reading fantasy books in the first place. It's simple when you get down to the basics, yet it still gets you wrapped up in it and captures your imagination.

I suppose that the plot really wouldn't make the book very good by itself. The writing was much better than in Pawn of Prophecy, and the characters were just as excellent as before. The witing of book one took away from the whole thing quite a bit, but it seems now that Eddings figured out how to write a bit better in this book. The characters are exactly what I expected: well thought out, realistic, and they develope very realisticly aswell. These two factors help hold the book together and add to the intrigue which kept me reading it for hours at a time.

This is certainly an exceptional book. I think that anybody would like it. It's easy and highly enjoyable, and overall a good read.

If you love mystery and magic, this is the book for you. And, whats more, it even has a love interest! There's also lots of action so there's something for everyone. There are some slight twists to keep you on your toes and is basically a really great book to read. But make sure you give yourself a day at least to read it as once you start, you can't put it down!

5.0 out of 5 stars It just gets better 25 May 2004
Format:Paperback
Continuing on from where the Pawn of Prophecy left off, Queen of Sorcery plunges us headlong into the world of the Belgariad. Hot on the trail of the apostate Zedar and the stolen Orb of Aldur, Mister Wolf and Aunt Pol lead their band of destiny bonded warriors across lands and continents in the search. This book sees the first signs of Garion's true destiny, what he is to become and introduces further races and in fact encounters with Gods themselves. Everyone wants to possess Garion for his is the destiny that will shape the world. The Gods, their servants, the voice inside his head and even the tiny Princess Ce'Nedra will stop at nothing to manipulate him to their ends. This is a worthy sequel and a fantasy book that is right up there with the best of them. Classic David Eddings and a damn fine read!
