The Belgariad continues! Shortly after Pawn of Prophecy . . .
Garion and company continue their quest to recover the Orb of Aldur. Their journeys take them south, through the towns of Arendia, Tolnedra, and Nyissa. Friends, foes, and fantastic creatures abound. Along the way, they pick up an important companion, and Garion learns more about what makes him special. Will the party be successful- or is it already too late?
Book two is much in the same vein as the first. I liked it, but it doesn't stand alone- it is a chapter in a larger story. There is some character development and suspenseful situations, but this is mostly a physical journey- it doesn't progress the story or characters quite as much as I would like for such a 'short' (5-book) series.
Rating: A-
