Shipment #175020996 From AZ has never gotten her. I would enjoy the book f I had it.

Ordered Very Good - Came Acceptable

I ordered a very good copy, and it came without a dust cover as well as stained and dented. Not very good quality.

How sad...

The end to this story...so sad. I bought this book with a great feeling of dread, knowing I wound't have any to read after it. It was a great book. I think it was my favorite out of both of his series , just for the fact that we finaly got to see Silk caught. He is my favorite charecter in all of the books. I don't know why all the other girls are going after the other guys. Velvet is the smart one! I loved all the books.

Yet again an awsome book!

As i've come to expect a fantastic book from(personally) my favorite author. Eddings has finished a masterful series with an exellent book. Cyradis, Zandramas and Belgarion battle it out, not as expected but in an extraordinary way with the choice! I strongly advise any fantasy/fiction reader to read this book (not before the rest of the series or that would spoil it.) This book has the power to hold you transfixed until you reach the end, AND YOU STILL WANT MORE. Mr Eddings can we please have more of your fantastic writing SOON!

Perfect ending to perfect series!!!!!!

Great how things end up in this book.(i don't like it that it's already over though). It's great that it doesn't end right after the final battle between good and evil like in so much other books,this time everybody gets dropped of home. It was a big surprise that Sadi became one of the good guys and i was releaved that Kheldar came along again(he's the best). Why didn't we got to now where Beldin and Vella went? And what are the names of Polgara's twins,are they boys or girls or both?Well mr. & mrs.Eddings reason enough for another book, don't you think? It was also nice to see Zakath turn to his good old self again. I have to say that the Belgariad/Mallorean series are the best ever. David and Leigh Eddings are the number one Fantasy authors of the world.

Too bad this book is the last one in the series

By the time I had gotten to the end of this series, or should I say both series, I was extremely sad. I found myself homesick - not for my house but for the vale. This was definitely a good climax to the whole saga, not only because it ended in the destruction of all the evil, but also because it explained all the loose ends. The loose ends are another reason I liked David Eddings writing, he makes it so you know as much as Garion does and you have to figure things out along with him. As I read this series, I noticed I would be mumbling to myself, and I would be giving Garion advice on who people really are, or where "place that is no more" is, or other things such as these. I even dreamt of walking through the vale talking to Belgarath. The books made me have a personal relationship with each character. I was sitting on the edge of my seat (metaphorically speaking because I was actually lying on my bed) while I read this last book. It was definitely an exciting end to a series started by the docile pawn of prophecy (I think of the two series as one).

VERY SATISFYING

A deeply, deeply satifsying conclusion of the Malloreon (and the Belgariad) saga. Eddings builds the tension up until the finale - and (opposite to the Kirkus Review printed above) DELIVERS. I liked this finale very, very much. It is exciting and, like another reviewer stated here, gives you everything a fantasy-fan can hope for: (SPOILER AHEAD!!!) Sword & Sorcery, a big dragon, a demon and the saving of the whole universe. (SPOILER ENDS) One more wonderful thing: The book doesn't end at the finale, there are still 100 pages ahead. Eddings lets his heroes go home and shows what becomes of them. After taking the reader through ten volumes he grants them a big payoff. I LOVED IT. This is exactly what made THE LORD OF THE RINGS so wonderful for me and THE SEERESS OF KELL is one of the best fantasy books I've ever read. Suffice to say: This is the best book in the two sagas. Warning: People who do not like happy-endings should skip this book. This book has one of the happiest happy-endings you can imagine...
