Now the first three Malloreon books appear in a single volume, taking us on an epic quest across strange lands among gods, kings, sorcerers, and ordinary men. It is a gripping tale of two ancient warring destinies fighting a battle of good against evil. Garion has slain the evil God Torak and is now the King of Riva. The prophecy has been fulfilled– or so it seems. For there is a dire warning, as a great evil brews in the East. Now Garion once again finds himself with the fate of the world resting on his shoulders. When Garion’ s infant son is kidnapped by Zandramas, the Child of Dark, a great quest begins to rescue the child. Among those on the dangerous mission are Garion and his wife, Queen Ce’ Nedra, and the immortal Belgarath the Sorcerer and his daughter, Polgara. They must make their way through the foul swamps of Nyissa, then into the lands of the Murgos. Along the way, they will face grave dangers– captivity, a horde of demons, a fatal plague– while Zandramas plots to use Garion’ s son in a chilling ritual that will make the Dark Prophecy supreme. . .

The Mallorean series is a great follow-up to the Belgariad. If you enjoyed the first five books, this second set of five will also appeal. The characters are further developed as Belgarian grows into his role as The Rivan King. A few new characters broaden the action and the background and history of some of the characters is further explained. A very enjoyable series. Easy to read and something that you will be likely to enjoy more than once.

The second series by Eddings it still has the same appeal as the Belgariad. The characters have grown up and we meet a few new people while retaining the well loved ones. If you have read the Belgariad then you have to read the Malloreon.

Although this series is a follow on from the Belgariad, you could probably just jump right in here. David (and Leigh) Eddings is a fantastic writer, and his characters are superbly well written. In this series we meet a few new ones, as well as catch up with some old friends. Durnik is finding his strengths as a member of his very exclusive brethren, while Pol is wallowing in domestic bliss looking after Eriond. Cue drama.

Belgarion's son is stolen. Drama, war, discoveries, and adventure ensue, in the excellent manner we've become accustomed to.

Thus continues the saga of Belgarion and his quest to find his son, stolen from him by an evil sorceress, another unputdownable series! The characters develop a bit more, everything you could ever want in entertainment, love, murder, mystery, war & magic! I highly recommend it again for people who may not normally read this style of book!
