I really enjoyed this book. The characters really start growing up, especially Garion and Ce'Nedra. There is also plenty of Silk, who is one of my favorite characters. ”
“A trifle irritating at times with Cenadra but mostly well written. I love those prologues.”

“This book picks up the pace of the story at an almost alarming speed. It does slow down every so often but you soon figure out that actually the slowing down is simply there in order to lull you into a false sense of security because they are about to make a very sharp turn.

I love it.
The book reveals much about Garions rather mysterious background. Garion again becomes the rather agreeable character he is in the first book rather than the sullen moody teenager he is in books two and three and I for one found it refreshing. However, Garion's transformation isn't as surprising as the transformation that Ce'Nedra goes through. We still see glimpses of the spoiled child we first met but now they are more of a character trait and not her whole character. I don't really want to write more in case it spoils anyone.
I really love how Eddings (or should I say the Eddingses as Davids wife Leigh was heavily involved in writing these books) manage to portray the teenagers who are their main characters. They really feel authentic.”
“Everyone should read this series. ”

“Yes, I liked this book because like all the other ones there was a lot of action and armys clashing. My favorite part of the book is when Princess Ce'Nedra raises an army of the west to confront the Angraks. Yes I would recommend this book to my peers because it was just like all of the others.”

“As stated in the previous books reviewed, I love this entire series. In this 4th installment of the life of Belgarion, we get closer to his inevitable meeting with the god Torak. He finds that he is marrying his friend C'Nedra, who begins here as a spoiled brat. And he finally fulfills one of his destinies which to take the throne and title of Overlord of the West.
