![]() ![]() Fair warning, this is the second book of an ongoing quest and there may be spoilers for the first book ahead (although I'll try and avoid them). This was one of the first fantasy series I read and I'm having a lot of fun revisiting it. I thoroughly recommend these books for lovers of high fantasy, action, and relatable characters. I love that they have been released again relatively recently with a fresh new look so that they can appeal to the younger generation. They are a pretty tired looking collection of books because I bought them as a university student from second book shops all over Christchurch and Auckland. I own all the copies of both series set in this marvellous world and most of the extras too. It was my ‘Neverending story’ if you will and it gave me the confidence to be more present in my own life. ![]() ![]() ![]() The story is Garion’s ‘hero’s journey’ but I felt that the adventure belonged to me too. By reading these books I was drawn into an incredible world filled with characters that I knew and loved, and in some cases wanted to be (come on people, I can’t be the only kid that put a streak of white paint in their hair). This I didn’t understand until I was older. I had friends at school, but no meaningful connections. I started reading them as an 11 year old who was kind of floating around in this thing called life. This will be the same review for all the books in ‘The Belgariad’ and ‘The Mallorean’. ![]()
