Story5 out of 5 stars 52
It all began with the theft of the Orb that protected the West from the evil God Torak. Before that, Garion had been a simple farm boy. Afterward, he discovered he is a sorcerer. Now, at last, the Orb has been regained, and the quest nears it end. Of course, the questors must still escape from a crumbling enemy fortress, flee across a desert filled with Murgo soldiers, and avoid the Grolim Hierarchs seeking to destroy them with dark magic. After that, Garion feels assured, his part would be finished. But the Prophesy still holds several surprises for Garion.

This book was ruined by the new narrator. I listen to this book a few years ago withCameron Bieles narrating, it was So much better. Very difficult to listen now with the new narrator ruining the characters

Long ago, so the Storyteller claimed, the evil God Torak sought dominion and drove men and Gods to war. But Belgarath the Sorcerer led men to reclaim the Orb that protected men of the West. So long as it lay at Riva, the prophecy went, men would be safe.

What disappointed you about Dragon Bound?
All the graphic descriptions of abusive sex were totally uneccessary!

I enjoyed the tone quality of Eastlakes voice.
You didn’t love this book... but did it have any redeeming qualities?
The story line is goo.d The mystery of what the main character was kept me guessing.

Would you ever listen to anything by Larry Correia again?
not sure
Which character – as performed by Oliver Wyman – was your favorite?
I really liked Milo.
Do you think Monster Hunter International needs a follow-up book? Why or why not?
It has a follow up book.

Cutting a deal with a trickster god rarely goes well for any human brave or foolish enough to try it, but Atticus doesn’t feel like he has a choice. With members of the Norse pantheon out for his blood, he can’t train his apprentice in peace, so he asks Coyote to help him fake his own death. The cost, however, might wind up being every bit as high as if he’d made no deal at all.

Eerie, dreamlike, set in a world that is weirdly related to our own, The Gunslinger introduces Roland Deschain of Gilead, of In-World that was, as he pursues his enigmatic antagonist to the mountains that separate the desert from the Western Sea in the first volume of The Dark Tower series. Roland, the last gunslinger, is a solitary figure, perhaps accursed, who with a strange single-mindedness traverses an exhausted, almost timeless landscape of good and evil.
