As Garion, Belgarath and assorted companions race across Mallorea looking for Garion's son, they get caught up in the general push for power that is splitting the continent. However, they find friends - and relations - in unlikely places and even being caught in a plague ridden city doesn't stop them for long. But as they get closer, Zandramas starts to fight back, setting traps and trying to delay them. The pull of the Sardion also starts to play a part, as the will of the Orb wavers betweenSo far, the best of this second series. I was thrown for a loop by Zakath and Garion's friendship, although it may have had some foreshadowing in the way he treated Pol, Errand, Durnik and Errand during the last series. Still it caught me by surprise, unlike the acquittal of Toth which was clearly on the horizon. I did however enjoy the way Durnik apologized, no words just fishing!

But worry not, Polgara, Belgarath and Silk are on hand to lighten the mood with their
This is a wonderful novel. It brings us half way through the Malloreon cycle and Eddings is still bringing in new story elements. In my opinion, it is between this book and The Diamond Throne as the best novel he ever wrote.This book gives us a lot of exposure to Beldin, another of my favorite Eddings characters. His own self-deprecating manner and the snark with which he treats the others hides a sea of emotion deep as can be, as shown in the relationship between he and Belgarath. The love
Demon Lord of Karanda is the third book in The Malloreon by David Eddings. The quest continues! More has been revealed about their journey. It seems the prophecy may require an Angarak king be in attendance as well as some sort of "sacrifice." It's obvous now how Zandramas plans to use Garion's son, making it more important for the party to rescue him. If only Zakath, Emperor of Mallorea, could be reasoned with to let them continue onwards. Urvon, in his effort to make a play for the Sardion,
another enjoyable chapter...
In this book, the third in the sequelling series to the Belgariad, events really take it up a notch. We have some new characters appear in the form of demons and a new added danger to our Heroes and their quest. We have added humour in the form of mischievous kittens and the distractions they offer in councils of war and other such occasions.Time to continue on with the adventure!
