Book Review: Pawn of Prophecy

Funny, sarcastic, and fast-paced. This is a must-read for fantasy readers; middle school-aged through adult.

THE PAWN OF PROPHECY is the first book in David Eddings' BELGARIAD series (five books). Late one night, Garion is woken by his Aunt Pol and they run away with evil (and unknown) forces hot on their trail. Soon they hook up with a band of older and wiser adventurers who might be more than they seem..

I can't recommend this series enough. The tone is funny and sarcastic and the characters have unexpected depth. Best of all, the action moves fast and doesn't get bogged down following side-characters.

For fans of Terry Goodkind (THOMAS COVENANT), John Flanagan (RANGER'S APPRENTICE), and Robin Hobb (MAD SHIPS) -- check it out right away.
