Description In Favor Of Books Queen of Sorcery (The Belgariad #2)
The Trail of Prophecy...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 the world. Now the Orb has 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 the focus of the struggle. He has never believed in sorcery and wanted no part of it. Yet with every league they traveled, the power grew in him, forcing him to acts of wizardry he could not accept.
This continues the magnificent epic of The Belgariad, began in Pawn of Prophecy, set among strange lands against a background of a war of men, Kings, and Gods that had spanned seven thousand years - a novel of strange fate and a prophecy that must come true!

Okay, so I really was excited to jump back into the Belgariad series and I was not disappointed. At the very beginning of Queen of Sorcery you are reminded of how young and naive Gairon still is and during the course of this book you start to finally see him start to grow up a little, a though not fully. I'm betting this series will be a great journey in order for Gairon to grow up and discover his power. This book was a little slower in the middle than Pawn of Prophecy, but it picked back upI really enjoyed this reread. Wonderfully fun story that expands the characters of the first book in a masterful way. They're caricatures, but good ones & Eddings doesn't take them too seriously. There's a ragged old sorcerer who gives orders to the drunken king through a pirate, money-grubbing spies, & knights so noble & brainless that they kill each other in droves for reasons they can't recall. I like the humor & the tragedies. This is a simple epic story. No high falutin
Books 1 and 2 really should have been published as one volume. This is the one where their companions are almost complete and we get a lot more info about what exactly is going on. I've always loved the characters in this series :)
For the first half of this book, I was slightly bored and felt that it was an echo of the first one ("they travel, run into enemies and Silk does business, get away, travel, run into enemies and Silk does business, get away..."). I wasn't sure that I would continue reading the series after this book because I thought the book was "just okay." However, something changed about halfway or more into the book and now I look forward to reading the next one. The routine pattern finally changed and the
Very solid second book in the series. More magic, more surprises. Still a lot of traveling and a good amount of "if you would all just communicate, we wouldn't be having these problems!" But overall even better than book 1 I think. Onto part 3!
These sets of books are my best friends. I have been reading them since I was 15 years old and when I want some comfort I can loose myself in another world, following the adventures and the discoveries that Reveal who Garion truly is.
The most pleasant read There is no other series I find more relaxing to read. The prose is so gentle and invisible I can read a hundred pages at a time and it feels like twenty.Frankly this series should be more popular than it is. The target audience is probably YA if im honest - which is probably why it's not more popular. Then again, Harry Potter is uber popular with adults, and I rate this much higher than HP so... drawing a blank. This should be more popular. Period. Better writing than
