Review:

'I wished Polgara the Sorceress was longer . . . the characters are vivid and genuinely likeable, and there's an easy lilt to the prose which makes reading it pure pleasure. It's a wonderful book' SFX

‘My ideal summer read... Having enjoyed the entire ten-book serial, I was delighted to be able to read this latest addition as it not only provides fantastic escapism in itself, but, being a prequel, will make my re-reading of the other books all the more fascinating.’
The Irish Times

‘All the verve and pace we’ve come to expect.’
The Dark Side

‘Offers an absorbing storyline and some memorable characters as, once again, the authors touch all the right fantasy bases, with warring gods, political intrigues, supernatural creatures and appealingly human magicians involved in a titanic war over the course of seven millennia. Eddings fans will no doubt snatch this novel off the shelves while readers new to the authors’ world won’t find a more appropriate place to begin exploring it.’
Publishers Weekly

‘There’s no denying the Eddingses’ offerings do entertain. This novel is for fantasy fans fed up with more fusty fare, or for anyone who likes mischief and merriment.’
West Australian

From the Back Cover:

A MAGNIFICENT NEW FANTASY FROM DAVID AND LEIGH EDDINGS. THE STORY OF THE QUEEN OF TRUTH, LOVE, RAGE AND DESTINY: POLGARA THE SORCERESS

Polgara is the pre-eminent woman in all the world. She could have chosen any king or emperor for a husband and lived in a palace. She chose instead a simple country blacksmith, Durnik, and lives on a remote farmstead. Twin children keep her as busy as she has ever been in her long and eventful life – busy and, at last, content. But, in the dead of winter, her peace of mind is ruined when her nephew, the Rivan King Garion, and his wife Ce'Nedra visit.

Having read Belgarath's story, Ce'Nedra feels distinctly cheated. The Old Wolf left out so much! The Eternal Man in all senses, Belgarath wrote nothing of Polgara's years at Vo Wacune, nor of what happened at Gar og Nadrak. Ce'Nedra wants Polgara to finish the history – for the sake of her son Geran who will one day be the Rivan King. There are two worlds running side by side, and if Geran doesn't know about them, evil may once more rise from the City of Endless Night...

Ce'Nedra is no match for Polgara, the most fabled sorceress the world has ever known, who has no desire to tell her tale. However, Polgara herself is no match for the wolf Poledra, her mother – who orders her to tell it, anyway. And so, finally, the full truth of The Belgariad is revealed, the story of wizardry and politics, doom and evil, love and magic. Above all, the story of Polgara, a beautiful woman whose constancy and inner power have been the foundation of all the luck and love that have saved the world.

'Polgara the Sorceress' is the crowning achievement of the great fantasy epic which began with 'The Belgariad' and continued with 'The Malloreon'. Once again David and Leigh Eddings display the epic imagination, humour, and storytelling power which have made this series the most popular fantasy of modern times.

David and Leigh Eddings live in the American southwest.

'Eddings again delivers a feast for his fans. An absolute, unputdownable page-turner'
VECTOR on 'The Shining Ones'

'Eddings is totally in command: the numerous threads of war, intrigue and magic are skilfully drawn in at the satisfying denouement'
THE DARK SIDE on 'The Hidden City'

'What separates the grown-up authors from the boys is the quality of the writing, and David Eddings is one of the best'
WESTERN MAIL

'Fabulous...Eddings has a marvellous storyteller style...exceedingly well portrayed and complex people...More! More! More!'
ANNE McCAFFREY

'The Sixth volume in the Belgariad tells the full story of the legendary sorcerer Belgarath with all the verve and pace we've come to expect'
THE DARK SIDE

'Nobody writes modern fantasy like Eddings or as well. Eddings is at the top with the very best'
VECTOR

'My ideal summer read...Having enjoyed the entire ten-book serial, I was delighted to be able to read this latest addition as it not only provides fantastic escapism in itself, but, being a prequel, will make my re-reading of the other books all the more fascinating'
