Review I wished Polgara the Sorceress was longer ... the characters are vivid and genuinely likeable, and theres an easy lilt to the prose which makes reading it pure pleasure. Its a wonderful book SFX My ideal summer read! Having enjoyed the entire ten-book serial, I was delighted to be able to read this latest addition as it not only provides fantastic escapism in itself, but, being a prequel, will make my re-reading of the other books all the more fascinating. The Irish Times All the verve and pace weve come to expect. The Dark Side Offers an absorbing storyline and some memorable characters as, once again, the authors touch all the right fantasy bases, with warring gods, political intrigues, supernatural creatures and appealingly human magicians involved in a titanic war over the course of seven millennia. Eddings fans will no doubt snatch this novel off the shelves while readers new to the authors world wont find a more appropriate place to begin exploring it. Publishers Weekly Theres no denying the Eddingses offerings do entertain. This novel is for fantasy fans fed up with more fusty fare, or for anyone who likes mischief and merriment.
