"I loved this book! Amazing! I'm loving watching Garion grow up but I have to say that I feel bad for him. People starting to look at him different because they can tell that he is powerful and not an ordinary boy. I like watching Ce'Nedra and Garion trying to figure out what to do with each other. I love all the main characters and I have to say that I feel like I'm on the journey with them. Amazingly written!"

" Not as good as the first, but I still enjoyed it. I'm hoping the third one has more explanations! "
— Hypatia, 2/16/2014" A good read with a lot going on, much more than the series' first book. Gets kind of weird toward the end, but a really good book for a second installment. "
— Ross, 2/6/2014" I just enjoy reading his books. "
— Jamie, 1/29/2014" I really liked this one! The series is gaining some momentum! The first book was a little slow, but this one was great! "
— Jocelyn, 1/28/2014" If it weren't for the mind mangling names... "
— Ash, 1/12/2014" I'm sure I'm not the only one who wants to give Ce'Nedra a stern talking to after reading this book!Poor Garion ... "
— Tess, 1/12/2014" The adventure continues. Another fine read. "
— Jonathan, 1/12/2014" Bloody awful- avoid like the plague. Dreary, tenuous, plodding rubbish. "
— The_Trellisâ„¢, 1/3/2014" The first epic fantasy series that I ever read, I thank David and leigh Eddings for my love of fantasy. "
— James, 12/20/2013" Love these older fantasy books! "
— Jessica, 12/14/2013" Characters and humor are still there, I wasn't a big fan of SPOILER: Garian not apologizing to Aunt Pol. "
— Christine, 12/5/2013" Fantastic. The best fantasy series I have ever read. It truly is a classic of the genre. "
— Nikki, 12/5/2013" This was a good continuation of the story. I really sucked me into the world and truly hooked me, even more than the first. "
— Sean, 11/23/2013" Awesome!!! Can't wait for the third one. "
— Abe, 11/21/2013" I couldn't put it down. "
— Morgan, 11/15/2013" A few suggestive things in this series, but otherwise very enjoyable "
— Andrew, 11/4/2013" second enstanllment loads of humor suspense and adverture. "
— Karen, 10/27/2013" Book 2 moves at a much faster pace that Book 1. A lot more action and a few more details come to light in the story of Garion. "
— Katie, 9/17/2013" Again this is a re-read for me. Still a good read the second time. "
— Devi, 5/27/2013" These books are fantastic reading, I recommend them to anyone who enjoys fantasy and/or just a good read. These five books start the saga that will undoubtedly stick in your mind as one of the most in depth and stimulating fantasy sagas written to this day. "
— Kirsten, 4/13/2013" This was actually probably my favourite Eddings book to date. Probably because I like Polgara so much, "
— Shelly, 3/12/2013" Loved. Reread every couple of years. "
— Elizabeth, 8/30/2012" Fun story, good for light reading if you like fantasy, a la Tolkien, but not nearly as well written. I'm not sure if I would recommend this, but I enjoyed it enough to finish the series. Just don't expect too much. "
— Wendy, 4/29/2012" More of the same from Eddings. Pulpy and easy to read. Strangely unsophisticated. I am reluctant to admit he's a great storyteller, something about the too-simplistic nature of the series bothered me. "
— Jay, 12/18/2011" Awesome follow-up "
— Dvdurante, 11/25/2011" how have I not read this before? "
— Eric, 10/1/2011" Read these books way back but they are what turned me on to adventure fantasy for the rest of my life. One day I will go back and read all of Eddings books! "
— Melissa, 6/23/2011" This is where my descent into nerdery began. Tanya Lasley let me borrow Pawn of Prophecy in 6th grade. I should google her. "
— Bravepixels, 6/21/2011" This book was kind of hard to get through the first half. However, it did end up picking up its pace and becoming a more entertaining read after the first half or 2/3rds. It will probably be a while before i start the third book of this series though. "
— Miller, 3/12/2011" My personal favorite way to read the series! "
— Telisha, 3/5/2011" This is my third reading - love it just as much as the first. "
— Annie, 2/24/2011" Currently re-reading, actually. This is pretty much one of my favorite series ever and I knew if anything was going to get me out of post-op depression, this would! "
— Mariah, 1/26/2011" This is one of my all time favorite comfort reads. I always recommend it to people that say they don't like the fantasy genre because it is so well rounded and the character are so love-able. "
— Tonileg, 1/26/2011" One of the best fantasy series I've read. "
— Tiffany, 12/4/2010" Read these when I was little. I loved them :) "
— Susan, 12/1/2010" I love this book. It has the old fashion adventure, humor, romance, and excitement. "
— Mary, 9/30/2010" Just couldn't get into it as much as I tried. There are some nice stretches and Eddings certainly devotes a lot of time/energy to creating his world, but I found it tediously redundant as the characters traveled from one waypoint to another.... "
— Henry, 9/16/2010" This series is an example of classic fantasy brought to the highest with Edding's gift of weaving a real world and its people into life. "
— Jennie, 8/27/2010" Starts out a little slow, but then becomes amazing. "
— Jen, 8/17/2010" Still a fun, quick read. Not the best fantasy ever, true, but it's not overly dense or full of itself either. "
— Matt, 7/19/2010" Not on the same lines as Feist or Brooks, but a very enjoyable read nonetheless. Classic epic fantasy. "
