Magician's Gambit (David Eddings)


The Belgariad continues! Shortly after Queen of Sorcery . . .

As Garion learns more about his powers, the party turns east in their quest to recover the Orb, braving the caves of Ulgoland and the magical Vale of Aldur. They learn that their goal is at Rak Chtol, deep in the wastes of Cthol Murgos itself, guarded by a powerful magician. With a new ally at their side, they brave the journey . . . but is it a fool's errand?

Book three follows the trend- good story, but not stand-alone. There is some character development- of Garion and the new ally- and some suspense or poignant moments. The middle book of the pentalogy, I look forward to see where this is going.

Rating: A-
