Enchanters’ Endgame<\/em> (1984) David Eddings<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>The Belgariad concludes with Enchanters’ Endgame<\/em>. This is another of my favorite books, primarily because I love Garion and Belgarath and Silk traveling through Gar Og Nadrak. And Silk and Yarblek are perfect partners.<\/p>\n

But not only is it fun to see them travel through Gar Og Nadrak, I quite like the Nadraks. The Murgos are quite horrible, and the Thulls are idiots, so it was nice to see at least some of the Angaraks not be completely horrible. And I do like the parallels drawn between the Nadraks and the Drasnians. Silk is one of the best characters in the series, so those parallels do a good deal make the Nadraks seem decent–even though that’s in comparison to their Murgo and Thull brethren.<\/p>\n

Although she’s better, I’m still not enamored of Ce’Nedra. Yes, she does learn responsibility, and yes those lessons come at a price, but I still find her annoying. Cute just ain’t all that.<\/p>\n

One of the strange things about this book is I’d almost it ended without the Epilogue. Yes, we needed to know all that stuff, but it takes a very strong ending and kinda wanders around and meanders and although it does tie up loose ends, it’s one of the weakest parts of the story. But at least it was made into an Epilogue.<\/p>\n
