This is an Outline, not a serious review or critique, meant for parody and humor purposes only.

Other Outlines can be found here PAWN OF PROPHECY is the first novel in a High Fantasy series called the BELGARIAD, by David Eddings. The intent of the writer was to create a “realistic” epic fantasy. Whether or not he succeeded is--debatable. PAWN OF PROPHECY is one of the first fantasy novels I ever read, and the BELGARIAD itself was a huge favorite of mine. Unfortunately, as I’ve noted elsewhere there are actually quite a few problems with it as far as plot and “worldbuilding” goes. Despite the problems it’s entertaining and a very popular series and has managed to stay in print for years.

AUTHOR 1: I hate Tolkien have interesting Ideas about High Fantasy so I will write a fantasy series where I address all the problems I think there are in High Fantasy based on my reading of THE HOBBIT!

AUTHOR 2: I will be a background figure who won’t even get name credit for years and when I do, I will be blamed for Author 1’s tendency to beat dead horses!

Onward to idyllic childhoods that make other fantasy orphans green with envy!
