Magician's Gambit

Magician's Gambit (Revised) | David Eddings

Despite the summery image on the original (Corgi UK) cover, it's winter and the group spends a lot of time being cold

readingjedi Oh gosh, that brings back memories! My late father had the series with that style of covers. Wish I still had them ... 3y

humouress @readingjedi I love those covers too (art by Geoff Taylor, if you want to hunt them down) but they‘re not in print anymore 😕 3y

humouress The wind tore at them as they rode, and the driving sleet half-blinded them…The ledge curved along the mountainside, disappearing in the swirling sleet ahead…The wind blasted directly into his face as he stepped around the granite outcrop, and he had to put his hand in front of his face to keep the sleet from blinding him… the upper edge of (the door) was lost in the swirling sleet.

As soon as a friendship passed a certain point ... a woman quite automatically became overwhelmed by a raging compulsion to complicate things.
😂

humouress ‘I thought Ctuchik was a sorcerer,‘ Garion said, puzzled. ‘Why do you keep calling him a magician?‘
‘It‘s a term of contempt,‘ Belgarath replied. ‘It‘s considered a deadly insult in our particular society.‘ 3y

At the start of the month I said I was hoping to get through several #TBRDeckofCards prompts in May. Two is not really several, but better than none. Maybe in June!

February #doublespin done! (I'm catching up...) also another down for #seriesread2021 @TheSpineView @TheAromaofBooks

It was a good call to do this one in print rather than audio. I definitely enjoyed it more than I would have if I'd done audio again. I'll keep with print for the rest of the series. Hopefully I'll get to the last 2 books soon.

TheAromaofBooks Yay!! And great job working on the backlog as well!! 4y

llwheeler @TheAromaofBooks thanks 🙂 4y

Making good progress. My readathon goal was to finish 3 books. I will have to up my goal because this is my 2d book done at the 5 hour mark. Onto the next book!

Have I mentioned how much I love this series? ❤️ This has been a most excellent reread.

Jovy I love this series! ❤️ 5y

wanderinglynn @Jovy 🙌🏻 me too! 5y

squirrelbrain I‘ll show my husband now @wanderinglynn ! He wants to know what kind of pup is he? 5y

Bookwormjillk 👏👏👏 5y

jb72 So cute! 5y

wanderinglynn @squirrelbrain he‘s a pound puppy mutt. But I did have his DNA tested for fun. The results came back 25% mini poodle, 25% Pomeranian, 25% Chinese created, 25% rat terrier. I say the Chinese crested balanced out the Pom on hair because he hardly has any on his tummy. But he definitely has a terrier personality—he loves to chase tennis balls & small critters. 😉 5y

squirrelbrain How fun! He must have Chinese crested ears then? I love a terrier personality too! 5y

wanderinglynn @squirrelbrain either that or rat terrier also has those large, oversized ears too. 5y

squirrelbrain Oh, yes, I didn‘t know what a rat terrier looked like - I see now! Definitely large in the ear department.... 🤣 5y

CBee Hello Dexter 👋🏻👋🏻❤️❤️ 5y

A great continuation to a great story. I enjoyed seeing how the main character Garion evolves, grows up and becomes less stubborn and more the person he's destined to be. Even though all the books from this series are basically full of walking, strolling, hiking and riding across the Kingdoms of the West, the story is very enjoyable and thirlling.

November was not a good reading month. Had lots going on and a slump but I still managed 6 so could be worse. December should be better.

I felt so bad for Ce‘Nedra in this book! But I also loved how unapologetic and commanding Polgara is! She‘s always been my favourite character.

Opening line: "Her Imperial Highness, Princess Ce'Nedra, jewel of the House of Borune and the loveliest flower of the Tolnedran Enpire, sat cross-legged on a sea chest in the oak-beamed cabin beneath the stern of Captain Greldik's ship, nibbling thoughtfully on god DMS of a tendril of her coppery hair as she watched the Lady Polgara attend to the broken arm of Belgarath the Sorcerer." #bookcover #firstline #bookgnome

Continuing my re-read. They introduce another point of view and a bit more about the prophecy, also adding new members, but there are plenty of things left unexplained. I never realized how much this series focuses on traveling from place to place.

case_face I'm rereading this series right now, and you're right on about all of the traveling! Also, I'd forgotten about Ce'Nedra's POV and how much time they give to Relg and his fanaticism. 8y
