A review by ilaeria
Polgara the Sorceress by Leigh Eddings, David Eddings

5.0

And so the Belgariad saga comes to an end. Sure, there's the Rivan Codex, but that doesn't take the story any further. Polgara is the crowning jewel of the series, and my favourite.

The Belgariad saga is my comfort reading, my problematic fave. Eddings was the first fantasy author I read, and he (or they, rather) holds a special place in my heart. I know it's full of tropes, and shallow, and the characters are caricatures and one-note. I don't care.

Last year was very difficult for me, and I plucked Pawn of Prophecy off my shelf in desperation during a very dark time. I needed the comforting familiarity of this series, the happy ending, the banter. They helped pull me through.
