I'm sure some of the enjoyment of this series is coloured by it having been a book I read and re-read during my teens. I had issues during the time with the depiction of women then and I still have it to some extent and with the implicit racism (not all Alorns!) Now I do get that having a guiding god moulding people in their image could make people tend to tendencies but dammit variety is good, and it brings up huge free will issues.
Garion discovers truths and goes on a quest to kill Torak. Ce'Nedra discovers what her future holds and people gear themselves up for the epic battle that will happen.
Yes I enjoyed it overall but the characters are sketchy and I still love Silk. I think he was responsible for the years of playing thieves in role playing games. These days I mostly play clerics by the way.

Eh, probably the least interesting in the series. I am not a fan of the way the Ce'Nedra is treated throughout this book, and Polgara is at her meanest, in my opinion.

This is definitely one of my favourite books in the series. So much happens, with tear-jerking moments and fun, witty exchanges. Exactly what I remembered that I loved about David Eddings' books.
Again, my copy of the audiobook was kind of messed up and sometimes sounded like it was recorded while being played out loud.
But it was all there and allowed me to enjoy a book while working, which is the most fantastic thing!
5 out of 5 stars.
