The quest was over. The Orb of Aldur was restored. And once again, witht he crowning of Garion, there was a descendant of Riva Iron-grop to rule as Overlord of the West.

On the outcome of that dread duel rested the destiny of the world.

reviewed Enchanters' End Game by David Eddings (The Belgariad, #5)

The Belgariad

So. The Belgariad is a pretty no-frills fantasy chosen one epic that spans five books. It has some unique aspects, like the world and religion/magic systems, but it's severely flawed, particularly in its depiction of women.

Women in the Belgariad have three types of interactions with men: - Nagging them into getting their way - Seducing them into getting their way - Being patronized

Incidentally, I'll be pretty happy if I never see a woman's appearance described as "lush" or "overripe" again.

Review of "Enchanters' End Game" on 'Goodreads'

No rating

I would have to re-read this series to fairly rate it, and I'm not going to do that. I greatly enjoyed it when I read it as a teenager, but suspect it would not hold up today, and given what we know about the authors today I have no interest in re-reading it to find out.
