Now in the final stages of their quest for his son, Garion and his companions travel to Kell to consult the only undamaged copy of the Malloreon Gospels.

This is the final book in the Mallorean and I suppose it is a decent conclusion to the whole series. My problem with this book is a lot of it felt like filler with the whole story was just being dragged out to make sure there were enough pages to complete the final book.I suppose it doesnt help I am not reading this for the first time, but at times it felt almost pointless reading the story because it was all mapped out by the Seers and the Stars. There were a few incidents that kept itThis is my review of both the Belgariad and the Malloreon. I read both through because I'm a sucker for a series about a long quest. However, it was nearly impossible to ignore the blatant misogyny and racism that permeated each and every book. He goes to needless lengths to make sure all his female characters - even the "strong" ones - are shown to be weak and "feminine" at least once or twice. And don't get me started on his description of non-white ethnicities. The white male characters are
DONNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNE. This series is RIDICULOUSLY misogynist, so don't let your kids read it until they've read The Order of Oddfish first, or maybe The Hunger Games - something where it's a chick kicking solid ass from start to finish. I'm basically exhausted from being so infuriated, so I might need to reread Anathem or Melusine again, as a palate cleanser.
This is a review for both the Malloreon and the Belgariad. I used to love these books, they gave me the warm fuzzy feeling of books that you loved as a child and then kept reading as an adult. The first time I read them I must have been 12 years old. In some ways, the two series still resonate with me - I love the world-building. Eddings put so much into the world and its geography. He also did a fantastic job, for the most part, with the people. The cities and towns were a lot of fun, and
*This review contains spoilers for the previous books in the series as well as very light spoilers for this book.Getting to the end of this series always makes me feel a bit pensive. Of course, since there are 11 books (total) in the Belgariad and the Mallorean, I see another re-read in my near future.I have to say that Im starting to think that The Seeress of Kell is my favorite book in this five book series. Theres so many parts that I just get a kick out of. I love the bromance between
A fun conclusion to a series that I've read over and over again. However, I have one specific problem with this book, which will be in Spoiler tags:(view spoiler)[The problem with this book is the choice that Cyradis has to make. She's supposed to make a choice between the Child of the Dark and the Child of the Light. All well and good. The problem is this: at no point, anywhere in the entire series, has the Dark shown any proof that it was the right choice. At no point does Cyradis act like she
In the fifth and last book of the series we do not have any particular surprises in relation to what we expect in this genre. Of course, it is through the ordinary something extraordinary can occur, and I think this is what the author does. The book begins in the same way that the previous one ended with our heroes wandering into the war zone trying to find the place of the final confrontation. Then we make a medieval break as knights, joustings and dangerous dragons invade our story. In the
