![]() ![]() There’s this one scene that really stood out for me because Silk was poking fun at certain social norms. She will suffer no foolishness on her watch! She’s the care giver in the group but she’s also one of the sternest characters. I love how she insists on keeping Garion clean, presentable, and well fed. Garion’s Aunt Pol (Polgara) is also a favorite. He pokes fun at other characters but also has quieter moments where he teaches Garion something useful or playful moments when he’s getting up to some mischief. Perhaps part of that is nostalgia but I think the characters hold up well even if the plot is pretty much boiler plate. However, I still found myself enjoying this book. ![]() As an adult, I find that I have a more critical eye. I read this series as a kid and only recently have discovered them as audiobooks. While the premise to Pawn of Prophecy is pretty basic (ancient evil is awakening and a Chosen One may be our only salvation), I still enjoyed it. I read them as a kid but only recently have enjoyed the first in the series as an audiobook. Pawn of Prophecy by David Eddings is a classic in the epic fantasy realm. ![]()
