Laddar... Sagan om Mallorea : Murgoernas konung (1988)av David Eddings
![]() Det finns inga diskussioner på LibraryThing om den här boken. La búsqueda se hace difícil y comprometida pues no logran descubrir dónde se halla Zandramas y temen que este desconocido personaje planee utilizar al niño y la piedra, llamada Sardion, en un rito que se celebrará en "el lugar que ya no existe" y que aseguraría el triunfo de las Tinieblas. De este modo, el mundo quedaría sumido en el caos y en la miseria. This will be the same review for all the books in ‘The Belgariad’ and ‘The Mallorean’. These books changed me. I started reading them as an 11 year old who was kind of floating around in this thing called life. I had friends at school, but no meaningful connections. This I didn’t understand until I was older. By reading these books I was drawn into an incredible world filled with characters that I knew and loved, and in some cases wanted to be (come on people, I can’t be the only kid that put a streak of white paint in their hair). The story is Garion’s ‘hero’s journey’ but I felt that the adventure belonged to me too. It was my ‘Neverending story’ if you will and it gave me the confidence to be more present in my own life. I own all the copies of both series set in this marvellous world and most of the extras too. They are a pretty tired looking collection of books because I bought them as a university student from second book shops all over Christchurch and Auckland. I love that they have been released again relatively recently with a fresh new look so that they can appeal to the younger generation. I thoroughly recommend these books for lovers of high fantasy, action, and relatable characters. It is the quintessential hero’s journey. {Second of 5 in Malloreon or seventh of 10 in Belgariad series; fantasy, high fantasy, quest fantasy, young adult} (1988) I try to avoid including **spoilers for previous books** in a series when I write reviews but this time I really can’t. Read on at your peril. The scene having been set in Guardians of the West and the new prophecy given, the quest continues ... Or, rather, the new quest properly begins and, as you can probably guess from the title (and the fact that this series is called The Malloreon), is another race to the eastern parts of this world. I think I’m not giving too much away to say that this time it is not the Orb but Garion’s son that they need to rescue. Ce’Nedra is, naturally, upset and both parents have a vested interest in seeing this quest concluded as quickly as possible. The group follows the trail to Prolgu, Tolnedra and Nyissa, meeting old acquaintances on the way, running into hindrances left behind by Zandramas and digging out information about the new prophecy, which was hidden behind the old one. 'Why is it that all of this seems to have happened before?' Then they discover that Zandramas has fled towards Cthol Murgos - as well as a few other things they had not suspected about this new enemy. They cross the border and discover that, though the eastern kingdoms are distracted by being at war with each other, Zandramas has slowed them down by leaving their descriptions with orders for their arrests. When one member of their group displays unexpected powers all their precautions come to naught as they are arrested and thus come face to face with the King of the Murgos. I'm enjoying this second series which follows The Belgariad. The first time I read it, as a teenager, I thought Ce'Nedra was a bit self-absorbed. Reading it now, I found her behaviour understandable under the circumstances (I certainly wouldn't be too happy) but, given the light treatment she comes across as a bit temperamental. Zith the snake also has a personality and, oddly, comes across as quite cute - as long as you don't annoy her. Zith sulked in her bottle, still greatly offended. This series was written near the end of the Cold War and though there is very much an East versus West vibe we start to see that people are the same all over the world. At one point Garion and his friends shelter at a ravaged farm on their trek through Cthol Murgos: She sat on a pile of fragrant hay and bounced tentatively a few times. There is a slightly darker shading to things though the banter and lightheartedness that we know this world for continues. Something that caught my attention; the prologue quotes from The Lives of Belgarion the Great (Introduction, Vol. IV)- I hadn't noticed the plural before. Of course, as a sorcerer, Belgarion could live for a very long time but, as someone pointed out to me, as a part-dryad, Ce'Nedra could also be long-lived. I'm still enjoying this re-read as we begin to explore parts of this world that we didn't see in the first series. (September 2022) 4.5-5 ***** I know that David Eddings books are very much a repeated formula from series to series but that does not take away from my enjoyment of them. I first read his books many years ago when I chose them because they were the longest books I could find. I enjoy his characters and the plot and I find that in general they stand up to the test of time as long as you can enjoy the raging sexism. inga recensioner | lägg till en recension

In this second book of The Malloreon, Garion and Ce'nedra continue the quest begun in Guardians of the West. In their party travel the immortal Belgarath the Sorcerer, his daughter Polgara the Sorceress, and the little Drasnian, Silk. Garion knows that it is the mysterious figure Zandramas who is responsible for the abduction of his infant son, and he and his companions journey many miles and encounter many strange beings in their search for him. Their way leads through the foul swamps of Nyissa, ruled over by the Snake-Queen, and on into the dark kingdom of the Murgos, where human sacrifices are still made to the dead god Torak. Further on, however, even beyond those forbidding lands, they must face the ultimate danger - not only to themselves but to all mankind...
