Could do better When I was younger I quite enjoyed these but the suck fairy visited and shone her torch on the mysogony, hetronormativity and racism inherent in the stories. I do realise that it was there before but I had glossed over it while in pursuit of the story. A lot of the time I have bounced through a lot of this but I can't ignore it any more.
The fight between (Bel)Garion and Torak comes to pass, Ce'Nedra amasses an army and heads for the borders and several people are very smart about a lot of people deciding that others aren't so bad after all. There's a lot of relationships that come to a resolution, mostly with marriage.
It wraps up a lot of the plot but it's also leaving a lot of room for the sequels that happened.

I really enjoyed the narration of this whole series. He pronounced some things a little strangely, but overall he was very good. I was particularly happy with his consistency of voices for all the characters.
As to the book itself, these are, and always will be, one of my favourite series of all time.
5 stars.

very much enjoyed this. felt the ending was a bit rushed and spent the whole book worrying that there wasn’t enough pages left for everything to happen, then it all of a sudden happened. the whole series was really very, comforting, like a hot drink and a warm bed on a cold day, like talking to a good friend. i’m so glad to have read this series on a recommendation and wished i could have found them earlier. and to the person who recommended it, you were in every page and this series is just so you. a very cozy little fantasy series that has become very dear to me and that i’ll no doubt revisit.
