Pawn of Prophecy by David Eddings is a classic in the epic fantasy realm. I read them as a kid but only recently have enjoyed the first in the series as an audiobook. Here is my review. While the premise to Pawn of Prophecy is pretty basic (ancient evil is awakening and a Chosen One may be our only ...
One of the groups I belong to is reading this book in November 2016 and I decided to do a quick re-read of an old favorite. I can still say that this story always is a fun book to read and still stands up as excellent epic fantasy after 35 years.4.5 Stars for a true classic.

Listening to a classic fantasy story that I head read multiple times was certainly an interesting experience. It took me some time to get used to the pronunciations used but narrator soon captured me in this world again and I might even have enjoyed this more than all the times I have read this one....

Ultimately, there isn't much to tell about this book. It's a five book series that spins the tale of a young boy who is destined to be the savior of the world. He's the books sole point of view. He begins his journey to chase some item, under the guidance of two magic users who only use magic when...
Pawn of Prophecy is the first of five books in The Belgariad series. In this book we meet our hero, Garion and most of his companions: Polgara, Belgarath, Durnik, Silk, Barak and Hettar. Garion is an orphan farmboy who is being raised on a farm (of course) in Sendaria by his aunt, Pol. This trope – ...
There is nothing I hate more than trying to review one of my all-time favorite books from my teenage years. We all know the reason: the book just never lives up to your memories of its perfection. A fact - which if we are honest with ourselves - is inevitable, because we personally have changed too ...
I can't quite make up my mind whether I like this one enough to try the next book in the series. On the negative side, this one is a bit too reminiscent of Lord of the Rings and too many other fantasy tales without bringing anything all that original to the mix. It's no ripoff like Sword of Shanna...
Obvious why it's considered a classic. More unique than a lot of the books from this era, charming, well written. A much more accurate view on how a boy would think and behave than most books, full of kids who are grossly over-mature for their age. I look forward to the next books in the series.
