Situations are very nearly always more complicated than a court verdict or even a police investigation might indicate. Off the top of my head, there are children/adolescents so violent or evil, parents can fear for their other children or themselves. In some states it can be enormously difficult to get useful help with a hardcore problem child. Leaving malice aside, I have a 27 year old cousin who’s 6”8, 280+ lbs, and the mind of a toddler. He accidentally fractured my aunt’s jaw during a night terror, panicked when he heard her choked scream, and despite the house being super-baby-proofed, did a few thousand dollars damage trying to make himself a place to hide. Point being, again, things are generally a good deal more complicated than they might first appear.

I first read this series and The Malloreon, Elenium and Tamuli when I was about 11. They remain my favorite fantasy novels to this day and I buy them whenever I find them in second hand stores. ♥️

I started to read these books and series while in primary school/junior high and always love the rich intertwine of language and self made ones for the storyline, including using of archaic tongue. Having these books on my bookshelves right now is a great memory.

Narration in this is absolutely fantastic. I was given this series when I was 14 and read it many times. My books burned in a fire when I was 18 or so and I never replaced them. Someone in a podcast mentioned them and I was like ohhh damn lemme find the audio. As a 50 year old I have a much different perspective on this series and it is like a brand new story again. I used to identify with Garion, now I identify with Belgarath. Hello to the others who all recently rediscovered this amazing series.

Thank you for putting these up, atm (as of 2024) these books are not available in audio format, to stream or download, for whatever reasons, anywhere, not even on Audible. Something to do with global rights or something I guess, so it's great to have at least the first two books uploaded here.

I have rarely seen a writer who actually makes characters that are believable and don't have over the top erratic or emotionally unstable conversations that bring a false sense of tension or danger. These were fun and enjoyable. Everyone was likeable for different reasons and the humor wasn't cheesy or forced.

I read this book when I was living in Knoxville in 1985. I finished the whole trilogy within 3 nights. The story was so much different from Tolkien. I was very excited to find another genre of fantasy books. This series still entertains me. However, I could not never finish The Mallorean nor other David Eddings' books. That is strange since I read hundreds of fantasy novels during those years.
i wore the books out many years ago ..... Eddings is awesome !

I'm now on the third set of these books. The first set lasted from the late 80s to the early 90s, they were borrowed and never returned. The next set lasted from then until now, but some are missing covers and all have frayed edges. Now I'm getting my daughter hooked on them and had to buy the one great big volume. I have every single book he ever wrote. Some I like more than others, but the Belgariad is my favorite. Re-reading them feels like coming home. But seriously, who made the Norse Alorns into Russians?
