From the Back Cover

Now in the final stages of their quest for his son, Garion and his companions travel to Kell to consult the only undamaged copy of the Malloreon Gospels. For centuries the Seers have guarded this book from the Grolims and even had their wizards put a curse of blindness on any Grolim who tried to enter Kell.

So, as proclaimed in Guardians of the West, Belgarion the Godslayer sets out with those who must join him: the Eternal Man, the Guide, the Man with Two Lives, the Bearer of the Orb and the Silent Man, and the rest of his companions to The Place Which Is No More to make the final choice - darkness or light.

But Zandramas the Sorceress will not be outdone. Though she may not enter Kell she still has young Geran and should she reach the final meeting place with him, then Garion must slay his son or the world will be no more.

THUS ENDS THE EPIC STORY OF THE MALLOREON --This text refers to an alternate Paperback edition.

4.0 out of 5 stars A fitting end to an eduring epic, 19 Feb 2002
By A Customer
This review is from: The Seeress of Kell (Malloreon) (Paperback)
I found this book a fitting end to both the series which chart the progress of Garion from boyhood to his destiny. In response to the adverse comments I have heard / read, I would like to point out that by the time you reached the start of this book, you have already read 9 books, so something genuine must have kept you reading till the end.

If you read the first book of the Belgariad, you have a pretty good idea of the style and content of the other 9 books. This isn't a negative comment, just a reassurance that the same attention to detail remains throughout both series.
As a "final" book, the Seeress of Kell draws together all the loose ends in a way which makes you marvel that someone could keep a plot going (with all the new developments) over the years which it took David (and Leigh Eddings) to write the series.
For people who have only just come to this series and loved it, spare a thought for those of us who had to wait for several years between the publishing of the Seeress of Kell and the Prequels "Belgarath, the sorcerer" and ultimately "Polgara"!

The only negative criticism I would raise (and it applies more to the prequel novels than this)is that for a fantasy series set in an imaged world the speech is far too American!

If being a well-paced, descriptive, and full (but uncluttered) novel makes it childish, then I will happily turn my attention to the children's corner in future!

5.0 out of 5 stars amazing...don't know what's got into other eddings' fans, 2 July 2006
This review is from: The Seeress of Kell (Malloreon) (Paperback)
I have been a huge fan of eddings since i was 12. I got into his books when I accidently picked up Belgarath the Sorcerer at my library. All his works are very well written. The plot is at just the write pace. I think his writing is brilliant and it is what inspired me to write in the first place. What I don't understand is why loyal eddings' fans are saying that this wasn't the best ending they had hoped for. This was one of my favorites in the Mallorean. I cried it was so good. They have the best character development I have discovered in an author yet. Amazing ending to a brilliant and enchanting series
