About this listen

Best-selling authors David and Leigh Eddings welcome fans back to the time before The Belgariad and The Malloreon series. Join them as they chronicle that fateful conflict between two mortally opposed Destinies, in a monumental war of men and kings and gods.

When the world was young and Gods still walked among their mortal children, a headstrong orphan boy set out to explore the world. Thus began the extraordinary adventures that would mold that youthful vagabond into a man and the man into the finely honed instrument of Prophecy known to all the world as Belgarath the Sorcerer.

Then came the dark day when the Dark God Torak split the world asunder, and the God Aldur and his disciples began their monumental labor to set Destiny aright. Foremost among their number was Belgarath. His ceaseless devotion was foredoomed to cost him that which he held most dear - even as his loyal service would extend through echoing centuries of loss, of struggle, and of ultimate triumph.

narrator's vivid command of the essence of the characters.

This is an epic recounting of the Belgariad with some interesting and in-depth accounts left unknown in the series. I would highly recommend this to anyone who enjoyed the Belgariad and The Maloreon series.

The Return of Cameron Beierle!!!

This reader performed all the rest of the series - The Belgariad and The Mallorean, so it’s very nice to have this continuity (the previous reader was TERRIBLE).

Admittedly, this story isn’t among Eddings’ best work, but is a nice transition in the cycle. This, along with Polgara the Sorceress, end right as The Belgariad begins. So this is a fantastic 12 book cycle to fall into and list to over and over.

The only performance issue I have is that the final mixing of the audio removed some of the bass rumble of Beierle’s voice that is present in the other books. It almost sounds as if the character is talking through a tin can. I’m still at the beginning of this readthrough, and because of the lack of bass, it feels like it drags a little?

All that aside, this reading is a vast improvement over the previous reader and a lovely continuation of the 12 book cycle.

If you are a fan of the series, this is a must.
If you haven’t read either The Belgariad or The Mallorean. Go back, and start with Pawn of Prophecy! :) Happy Reading!!

Accents

All together, I thought the accents the narrator gave the different races pretty spot on, accept, the Mimbrates and Wocunes.
I thought that their accents, which colored their language with a lot of “Thee’s” and “Thou’s” should have been more British type?
Sort of “Shakespearean” if you would.
At least that’s how I envisioned them to sound like.

Belgarath the Sorcerer is worth listening to.

Would you listen to Belgarath the Sorcerer again? Why?

I have read the books in the past, but hearing the story makes them come to life. Listening brings more depth to the story.

What did you like best about this story?

The images of how the world that Belgarath lives comes to life.

What about Cameron Beierle’s performance did you like?

I think he does a great job bringing the character to life.

If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?

Belgarath, the eternal man.

Annually Revistable Masterpiece

This book is an absolute treat, especially if you have gone through both the Belgariad (5 book series) and the Mallorean (5 book series), it enhances the story, by adding depth to the already deep story and also character interactions.

I revisit the series once or twice with every new year, as I always get something new with every listen. - Highly recommend.
