The Belgariad continues! Shortly after Magician's Gambit . . .
With the Orb back in their possession, the party races west to be in Riva by Erastide, to return it to its righftul place. There, Garion and Ce'Nedra will be in for a surprise as the ancient prophecy marches toward fulfillment. But their work is not finished . . . and Belgarion starts to realize what his destiny requires. Leaving the bulk of his friends, he must journey to confront the evil Torak lest the world descend into war and chaos. But what can a mere mortal do against a god?
Book four- we're nearing the end. The story continues in the same style and pacing as before. I enjoyed this one a tad more, perhaps due to a few amusing scenes and other quotable moments. Here are two exchanges I particularly enjoyed:
'You've changed a great deal,' Lelldorin noted.'I've been changed. There's a difference. Most of it wasn't my idea.'
'We can be friends, then?''I think we already are, Belgarion,' Brand replied gravely. 'We both serve the same master, and that always brings men close together.'
