I'm having some computer problems so I'm getting plenty of time to handwrite my next few reviews - and read a lot of books! As I am hurtling through the David Eddings' books, I feel I better pick up the pace reviewing the books! My fourth review in the Belgariad five book series focuses on the fourth book, called Castle of Wizardry. As always, I'm going to try to avoid any spoilers, but Castle of Wizardry is quite deep in the story, so I apologise in advance if I'm a little brief or if you feel I give too much away. The books start is quite action-packed due to the climactic events at the end of Magician's Gambit; our hero Garion has taken charge of the group ...  Read the complete review

The Castle of Wizardry is the fourth novel in David eddings Belgariad series. Author David Eddings was an American fantasy author who wrote two epic fantasy five novel series called The Belgaraid and The Mallorean. These two novels are amongst the best post Tolkien novels in the genre; he also wrote two series on a knight called Sparhawk in which there are many similarities with characters in the Belgariad and the Mallorean.

Eddings throws you, yet again, in a fantasy world where the characters will become as well known to you as life-like friends and the mystical aspects of this book don't seem cartoonish or petty. The beauty of Eddings works is they're all taken from a realistic start without any fantasy and incorporates it slowly and very believably as well.
