 Eddings' characters are the real highlight of "The Enchanted Castle." Garion, Ce'Nedra, and the other members of the group are well-characterized, and their interactions are always funny and engaging. A book that celebrates friendship, courage, and magic, with a touch of irony that is always welcome.

Here begins the story of Garion, a farm boy destined for a grand, magical quest. Eddings crafts a classic fantasy adventure, driven by engaging characters and a compelling prophecy in this journey from innocence to reluctant hero, supported by memorable figures like Aunt Pol and my favorite, Silk.
