Today's recommendation is:
The Belgariad
First book- Pawn of Prophecy
By David Eddings
This series of books tells the story of a young farm boy (of course) who discovers the power inside himself as he journeys to fight evil. Sound familiar? What makes this story special is that, accompanied by his aunt and his grandfather, Garion must recover the Orb of Aldur and fulfill a prophecy that was once forgotten.
Pretty usual fantasy plot but I really recommend this book for those fantasy lovers. The story has really good twists and turns and the main character is always on the same wave-length as the reader (even though sometimes that means we both need a little explaining from the other characters). I, unfortunately, thought the series went downhill at the fifth book so if you stop there I won't be the one to say no. In the stories defense however, the fifth book wraps up the story in ways and then starts again as though forced, if you read until it wraps up then you've got yourself an amazing series.
