The second book in the Belgariad takes readers on a ride of exploration through three kingdoms. While the first dealt with misty, orderly Sendaria and the Viking kingdom of Cherek, this one takes them through Arendia, Tolnedra and Nyissa on the quest set for Garion. Join the teenage sorcerer apprentice in trying to get answers and explanations.
Take a trip down memory lane to long summers spent at the camp or at the family house on the coast. The memoir is lovingly built and gives a believable and charming picture of family summers spent in Maine in the 1960s. Up to the point where tragedy strikes and the reader encounters the dark side of backwater America.
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.
