Apprentice Meets God

The fifth and final book of the Belgariad series brings the story to a satisfactory climax. Both Garion and Ce'Nedra are exceedingly busy in bringing everything to pass as stipulated by the prophecy. Probably they needn't have bothered, the prophecy and its counterpart moved everyone around like so many chess pieces.

Sorcerer Apprentice No More

In the fourth book of the Belgariad series, the apprentice arrives at his destination. The worst kept secret (at least for the reader) is being revealed to all the world. And all the world means the universe and everything. While the previous books were dominated by a group interaction, this book now changes tack to a more stationary and divisive lifestyle. This can go only so far, though.

Teenage Sorcerer Apprentice

In fantasy stories, everything from characters, props, through geography to magic has to work in perfect harmony. Pawn of Prophecy is one of the fantasy books that really work all the way through. Dialogues are funny, it has the necessary cliff hangers, and magic has strict rules to follow. You could take a holiday in the land of make-believe with this book anytime. It is, though, the first in a series of five; you better reserve some time for the others, too.
