Ce'Nedra, Imperial Princess of Tolnedra, was confused.

Everyone knew that the tales of the Orb that protected the West from the evil God Torak were just silly legends. But here she was, forced to join a serious and dangerous quest to recover that stolen Orb. No one believed in sorcery. Yet Garion's aunt and grandfather seemed to be the fabled sorcerers Polgara and Belgarath, who would have to be thousands of years old. Even young Garion was learning to do things that could only be sorcery.

Garion! He was nothing but a farm boy, totally unsuitable for an Imperial Princess. Then why did she have such urge to teach him, to brush back his tangled hais, and to comfort him?

Now he was going to a strange tower in the centre of all he believed evil, to face some horrible, powerful magician. And she wouldn't be there to watch over him. He might be killed! She'd never see him again...

Ansioso para ler o resto

Se o livro 2 era maravilhoso, esse era ainda mais. O aprofundamento na questão da relação dos deuses com os humanos, a expectativa pelo que parece o objetivo final da missão, a magia de Belgarion, a relação com Ce'Nedra, o surgimento de Relg, a descoberta da identidade da voz na cabeça de Garion, tudo se encaixa de um modo lindo, mostrando que (apesar do ritmo lento, comparado a livros mais atuais) a habilidade de David Eddings de planejar uma fantasia completa, complexa, bonita, envolvente e permeada de reflexões é sem igual.
