![]() ![]() In the Malloreon, it's revealed that there's an extension to the prophecy and further events need to happen for an even more final culmination at the very very end.In the Belgariad, you learn about the prophecy and the people involved, and everything comes to a head in a culmination at the very end. ![]() The Malloreon is definitely a continuation of the story of the Belgariad: although the plot is fairly self-contained, a lot of the worldbuilding and character development was done in the Belgariad.Ī very brief (mostly spoiler-free) summary is that the continuing narrative through both stories is essentially about a prophesied culmination of a long-running conflict between Good and Evil. So you can learn that overall shape quite easily, but you'd still be missing out on a lot. Fortunately, many (all?) editions of the Malloreon start with a prologue/introduction which summarises the Belgariad. You should at least know the basic shape of events in the Belgariad before you start the Malloreon. ![]()
