She soars above a world of warriors, kings, and priests. The daughter of Belgarath and the shape-shifter Poledra, she has fought wars, plotted palace coups, and worked her powerful magic for three thousand years. Now, Polgara looks back at her magnificent life, in this fitting crown jewel to the saga that is the Eddings' Belgariad and Mallorean cycles.

Her hair streaked white by her father's first touch, her mind guided by a mother she will not see again for centuries, Polgara begins life in her Uncle Beldin's tower, and in the prehistorical, magical Tree that stands in the middle of the Vale. There, she first learns the reaches of her powers. There she assumes the bird shapes that will serve her on her adventures. And there she starts on the path toward her destiny as Duchess of Erat, shepherdess of the cause of good, adversary of Torak the One-Eyed Dragon God, and guardian of the world's last, best hope: the heir to the Rivan throne.

Here is the legendary life story of a woman of wit, passion, and complex emotions, a woman born of two majestic parents who could not have been more unlike one another. Ordained to make peace and make war, to gain love and lose love, Polgara lives out her family's rich prophecy in the ceaseless struggle between the Light and the Dark.

Polgara is the epic culmination of a magnificent saga, and a fitting farewell to a world which, once experienced, will never be forgotten.

    It is a good book. It still has the Belgarid's fun and excitment. However, I think 《Belgarath the Sorcerer》 is more interesting. It is probably because Polgara involved herself in politics which is quite boring to me.

    It is a good book. It still has the Belgarid's fun and excitment. However, I think 《Belgarath the Sorcerer》 is more interesting. It is probably because Polgara involved herself in politics which is quite boring to me.

    It is a think book with small words. It took me two months to finish it. This book really fill in the gaps in《Belgarath the Sorcerer》. The complete history and story of Belgarion's world revealed before my eyes. I want to go on with 《The Rivan Codex》for further details. Also, I really want to write fantasy novel. See if I can learn something from 《The Rivan Codex》.

    The first chapter of 《Polgara The Sorceress》is "Beldaran". In this chapter, the relationship between Polgara and Beldaran is detailedly described. It is quite painful to loss a close companion.

    The second chapter is "Father". Polgara spent most of her time in Vale and Isle of the Winds. Polgara and Belgarath's play is good.

    The third chapter is the most boring. Polgara in Arendia mingling in politics.

    "Ontrose" in very touching.

    "Geran" is the beginning of the protection of Riva's heir which is a long journey to go.

    "Vo Mimbre" is the war between Brand and Kal Torak, okay interesting.

    "Annath" is the place where Polgara and Belgarath were both failed. I like the part Polgara go to Nedrak to dance and arrange things.

    Good book is a good book. You must read 《Polgara The Sorceress》if you read the 《Belgariad》, the 《Malloreon》 and 《Belgarath the Sorcerer》
