Could do better When I was younger I quite enjoyed these but the suck fairy visited and shone her torch on the mysogony, hetronormativity and racism inherent in the stories. I do realise that it was there before but I had glossed over it while in pursuit of the story. A lot of the time I have bounced through a lot of this but I can't ignore it any more.
The fight between (Bel)Garion and Torak comes to pass, Ce'Nedra amasses an army and heads for the borders and several people are very smart about a lot of people deciding that others aren't so bad after all. There's a lot of relationships that come to a resolution, mostly with marriage.
It wraps up a lot of the plot but it's also leaving a lot of room for the sequels that happened.
