I remember hearing my mother speak of how "power corrupts and how using a lesser magic saved his sister". I asked if I could read the book, but mother said "You're too young" and gave me "Pawn of Prophecy" the first book of the Belgariad series.<br /><br />I did read a little of a book with the Ilse Witch while mum was away, but decided agains't reading more. I wanted to read the books that came earlier. <br /><br />When I did get to her my hands trembled from exitement. It was worth the wait, she was cruel, powerful, enigmatic, cunning and determined to kill my favorite druid.Emilia Quillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15295982824010499581noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1311335624850028436.post-38467472654156544512010-10-20T13:16:20.569-07:002010-10-20T13:16:20.569-07:00Oh I LOVE a good villain.
