I'm enjoying Polgara's story. Somehow, though they're (the Eddings) rehashing the events for the third time, they've managed to keep a fresh perspective. I did, in the early chapters, get a bit fed-up with the 'twin-speak' between Beldaran and her though, conversely, Beltira and Belkira are now quite loquacious. I still find the Poledra angle a bit puzzling; I think they sort of resurrected her in hindsight at the end of the Mallorean.

humouress I don‘t see much progress in development in this world over the centuries, apart from minor details like moving to stone from logs as building materials. And I‘m not a fan of the excessive formality of Arendish speech nor the Eddings‘ version of brogue that we have to endure - though those are incidental quibbles. 10mo
humouress I think the tone of this book is subtly different from the others in the series; Polgara is a touch more ruthless than we've seen her (or any of the other characters) before. And there's a bit more emphasis on girl-power (not that that was missing before). There are a few instances that have me trying to remember if we knew something at the time of the Belgariad or only discovered it when we started the Malloreon. (edited) 10mo

I don‘t know if you can tell.. but this is my comfort book. I am drowning in my reading slump and needed this. However, the use of defenestrated in a sentence always has me running for google definitions. (It means to throw someone out of a window)

I don‘t actually have a favourite book 😱😳😬 I rarely re-read anything & even in the few of those that I have are not what I‘d consider favourites.

This book would be the closest to a favourite I guess. Read it so many times I actually replaced it & bought the rest of the series. I‘ve read The Rivan Codex & The Belgariad as well.

My first milestone! It‘s a small one, but thanks to all my new Litsy friends for helping me get to 500 Litfluence already!!
So what‘s your fav book with #500 or more pages??

Mine is Polgara the Sorceress by David Eddings. I have others that are more well known or of ‘higher literary value‘, but I have read this multiple times and it makes me feel good! 😊

Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks Thank you for the tag!!! Not new but I love it!! Mine is 7y
Librarybelle Congratulations on your milestone, and that is a great question! I‘ve read so many good 500+ page books, but the first two that popped into my mind were Gone With the Wind and Outlander. 7y
keys_on_fire @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks - I will have to check that out! I tagged you because you read different things than me so I figured I‘d get a great recommendation! Thank you! 7y

Of #allthesingleladies on my bookshelves Polgara the Sorceress is the first that pops to mind, despite the two significant romantic relationships she has. I love her independence, stubbornness, empathy, just everything, I just love everything. I read these book when I was pretty young, but the story and the characters, have stuck with me over the years 💖💖

Another for #OctPhotoChallenge! Worst parent: Terisa Morgan's father. Best parent: Polgara, the protector, acting as "Aunt Pol" to several sandy-haired young boys over the centuries. #bestparent #worstparent

For me, picking a favourite #FantasyorSciFi character is almost impossible! I love so many characters, from so many different books! The best I could do is pick one of my favourites from five of my favourite authors. In no particular order: Eddings' Polgara, Moorcock's Elric, Donaldson's Terisa Morgan, Brooks' John Ross, & Herbert's Paul Atreides. I could name SO MANY more! #OctPhotoChallenge
