Demon Lord of Karanda | David Eddings

Starting ‘Demon Lord of Karanda‘, the third book of the ‘Malloreon‘. This time the prologue is presented as an academic article on the kingdoms of the east rather than the usual extract from a book of legends

humouress Garion and co are now making their way through the kingdoms of the east, much as they went through those of the west in ‘The Belgariad‘, and meeting the royal families/ heads of state (mainly by virtue of being arrested, but still) 2y

humouress In the Malloreon they run into the kings of the eastern continent, though they‘d rather avoid them, due to their positions and powers whereas in the Belgariad it was because they needed to prepare the western rulers for the coming war. It‘s interesting, getting to spend time with the‘opposition‘. And I‘d forgotten about the plague - covid strikes again! 2y

humouress This series is criticised for being a copy of the first (Belgariad). I can‘t deny that the basic formula is the same but I find it intriguing because they‘re journeying through lands that are unknown to most of them - and not so familiar to even Silk and Belgarath - and learning about alien cultures. Some are very different but they find that people behave the same. And it‘s nice traveling with the same beloved characters. 2y

Book 3 in the series and I'm still enjoying it. Cant help but love Garion and Silk is also a fave of mine. Plus Zith is so cute if deadly.

I think #demon and David Eddings fit together. Although the first exposure is in Enchanters End Game, this title from The Mallorean suited Better. #octoberxfiles
