THE DRIVE OF PROPHECY
The quest was over. The Orb of Aldur was restored. And once again, with the crowning of Garion, there was a descendant of Riva Iron-grip to rule as Overlord of the West.
But the Prophecy was unfulfilled. In the east, the evil God Torak was about to awaken and seek dominion. Somehow, Garion had to face the God, to kill or be killed. On the outcome of that dread duel rested the destiny of the world. Now, accompanied by his grandfather, the ancient sorcerer Belgarath, Garion headed toward the City of Endless Night, where Torak awaited him.
To the south, his fiancée, the princess Ce'Nedra, led the armies of the West in a desperate effort to divert the forces of Torak's followers from the man she loved.
The Prophecy drove Garion on. But it gave no answer to the question that haunted him: How does a man kill an immortal God?
Here is the brilliant conclusion to the epic of The Belgariad, which began in Pawn of Prophecy—a novel of fate, strange lands, and a Prophecy that must be fulfilled—the resolution of the war of men, Kings, and Gods that had spanned seven thousand years!

Enchanters' End Game (Belgariad Series #5)
For me, this was the most enjoyable book of the whole Belgariad series, and that despite all of the "happily-ever-afters" that occur by book's end. Those of you who know me, know that I much prefer "Lady or the Tiger?" type endings that leave things more to my imagination.
Garion finally comes into his own during this installment and his elders and the Prophecy actually help him. He and Ce'Nedra start communicating, instead of guessing what the other is thinking or feeling. And even Hettar, the implacable horse-lord, finds a mate and mellows a bit, although it takes an altercation for that to happen (it kind of reminded me of Zane Grey's The Last Trail, where Lou Wetzel meets his match).
Garion naturally approaches his prophesied mission with trepidation'how does a mere mortal battle a god like Torak? The answer is a bit slick, but believable in the world that Eddings has created. There are still a couple of bad guys left, but that's for other series. By the end of End Game, one has the feeling that the party is over'the leftover food has been put away, the dishes have been washed, the floor swept and everything has been returned to its place.
Life is short and the number of books I want to read is huge, so I don't know that I will pursue any more of Eddings' writing, but I did enjoy this series.
