I particularly like that the characters change over time, something which happens too rarely in most high fantasy. ( ) That I made it through this mess is a testament to my OCD. I thought about writing a "Ten Things I Hate About You" list to this book, but that would take more effort than I care to give. So, I'll keep it short and simple: 1. Eddings seems to have ended his chapters on word count, rather than plot. I mean, this is almost Rocky Flintstone territory. Garion Blinked. End of chapter. 2. This orb our fearless heroes are chasing through two books now might as well be a cat toy for all I know or care about it. 3. I really have no idea what's at stake here at any given moment. 4. And then, MUD MEN! And then, EVIL MURGOS! And then, NAKED DRYADS! And then, MISERABLE SLAVES! Seriously though, I have never in my life had to suspend my believability for no reason other than the characters traveled further than a few paragraphs and something had to pop up to entertain my feeble mind. If you're reading this. You've probably already read this as a ten year old boy and are now ashamed that I've stripped it down to sticks and stones. And if you haven't read it? For the sake of your sanity, skip this trash. Secondo episodio per la serie The Belgariad, La Regina della Magia tutto sommato si discosta poco da quanto ho detto a suo tempo sul primo volume (Il segno della profezia). Ancora una volta, l'autore si basa sull'umorismo dei personaggi per sfangarla. È difficile non affezionarsi a questi personaggi – almeno fino a quando tenete il libro in mano: una volta girata l'ultima pagina, passerete ad altro senza rimpianti. I battibecchi tra Polgara e suo padre sono sempre esilaranti: si leggono volentieri e danno brio alla narrazione. Per non parlare di Silk, ingannatore e bugiardo senza scrupoli, capace di cavarsela da ogni impaccio. Il punto è che tutta questa allegria si basa su fondamenta d'argilla: la trama strizza l'occhio a Il Signore degli Anelli una volta di troppo, mentre i personaggi mancano di quello spessore che li renderebbe più credibili e meno macchiette. Di fatto, a inizio serie, Eddings ha appiccicato su ogni personaggio un'etichetta che recita il loro ruolo nelle vicende, e da lì non si schiodano. Certo, questo è un aspetto che rende i romanzi così appetibili ai palati molto giovani e molto inesperti di fantasy. A chi ha più esperienza con il genere, non può fare a meno di notare tutte quelle mancanze che immancabilmente frenano gli entusiasmi dei più navigati. Comunque, con il caldo e l'estate, è una serie perfetta per la spiaggia: non costringe i vostri neuroni ad applicarsi (non più di tanto, almeno) ed è meglio di tanta spazzatura che puntualmente finisce sugli scaffali delle librerie in questo periodo dell'anno. This will be the same review for all the books in ‘The Belgariad’ and ‘The Mallorean’. These books changed me. I started reading them as an 11 year old who was kind of floating around in this thing called life. I had friends at school, but no meaningful connections. This I didn’t understand until I was older. By reading these books I was drawn into an incredible world filled with characters that I knew and loved, and in some cases wanted to be (come on people, I can’t be the only kid that put a streak of white paint in their hair). The story is Garion’s ‘hero’s journey’ but I felt that the adventure belonged to me too. It was my ‘Neverending story’ if you will and it gave me the confidence to be more present in my own life. I own all the copies of both series set in this marvellous world and most of the extras too. They are a pretty tired looking collection of books because I bought them as a university student from second book shops all over Christchurch and Auckland. I love that they have been released again relatively recently with a fresh new look so that they can appeal to the younger generation. I thoroughly recommend these books for lovers of high fantasy, action, and relatable characters. It is the quintessential hero’s journey. keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen

The Belgariad is an epic fantasy of immense scope, telling the tale of struggles between ancient Gods and mighty Kings, and of men in strange lands facing fated events, all bound by a prophecy that must be fulfilled. Legends tell of the evil God Torak coveting the power of the Orb of Aldur, until he was defeated in a final battle. Prophecy also speaks of a time when he will again awaken to seek dominance over all the world. Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |
