“Fabulous . . . Eddings has a marvelous storyteller style . . . exceedingly well portrayed and complex people."

"Eddings' BELGARIAD is exactly the kind of fantasy I like. It has magic, adventure, humor, mystery, and a certain delightful human insight."
- Piers Anthony on PAWN OF PROPHECY
"Absorbing. Touches all the right Fantasy bases. Warring gods, political intrigues, supernatural creatures, and appealingly human magicians."

Customer Reviews
Great Fantasy!
Thank you for finally epublishing what was my first fantasy book as a teenager in the mid-eighty's!
The story is just as fresh as it was back then and can't wait for the rest of the books!
Eddings is a master
I love this series. Can’t wait for the Mallorean to come out on IBooks. I’ll snap them up and add them to my digital library. The story of Belgarion is my favorite. I’ve read this story beginning to end so many times Ive lost count. I’ll be starting again this fall.
Nostalgic
This was the first book I read when I began reading full novels as a teen. Couldn’t tell you if it’s a good book or if it’s just a nostalgia but I enjoyed it
