Synopsis: It's your basic fantasy story. Garion is a farm boy living with his Aunt Pol. They leave in a hurry and get caught up in a magical adventure to reclaim the Orb of Aldur and save the west from Torak.
Thoughts: I was feeling kinda low so so I decided to re-read this series. I love it. I am a little embarrased as it is not exactly literature. It's pretty cheesey and follows the general pattern of fanstay novels. The thing is that I read this story when I was in sixth grade for the first time and constantly come back to it. I know this characters. I love this characters. They are my friends, old old friends. And one cannot live on Shakespeare alone, nor on Morrison alone. Plus, I haven't really been reading that much lately so I figured I needed something light.
