I'm enjoying "Magician's Gambit" Book Three of The Belgariad by David Eddings.
Garion, Belgarath, Polgara and their companions face new
challenges as they continue their quest to retrieve the stolen Orb
before it can be delivered to the evil god Torak.When they reach the
mile-high tower of Ctuchik, who has the Orb and whose followers practice
Torak's cruel rites of human sacrifice, Belgarath must use all his
strength, guile and sorcery as he faces his most fearsome enemy.
Garion's strange powers continue to grow, as he plays an increasingly
crucial role in this world's future. "Eddings' BELGARIAD is exactly the
kind of fantasy I like. It has magic, adventure, humor, mystery, and a
certain delightful human insight."- Piers Anthony on PAWN OF
PROPHECY"Absorbing. Touches all the right Fantasy bases. Warring gods,
political intrigues, supernatural creatures, and appealingly human
magicians." - Publishers Weekly on QUEEN OF SORCERY"A graceful, fluid
style of storytelling rare in fantasy writing.” - Publishers Weeklyabout
the author:David Eddings published his first novel, HIGH HUNT, in 1973,
before turning to the field of fantasy with The Belgariad, which hit
the New York Times bestseller lists, as did his Malloreon series, The
Elenium and The Tamuli series. Born in Spokane, Washington, he served in
the United States Army and taught college English. His wife Leigh
