Garion, Belgarath, Polgara, and their companions face new challenges as they continue their quest to retrieve the stolen Orb before it can be delivered to the evil god Torak.

When they reach the mile-high tower of Ctuchik, who has the Orb and whose followers practice Torak's cruel rites of human sacrifice, Belgarath must use all his strength, guile, and sorcery as he faces his most fearsome enemy. Garion's strange powers continue to grow, as he plays an increasingly crucial role in this world's future.

When I first started this series, I wasn't sure I liked the narrator's style, but over time it grew on me. There's really nothing to dislike about this book series. It's overall a fantastic medieval fantasy series. I'd highly recommend it to anyone.

Excellent story and characters.

Brian Wiggins was incredible and actually brought some of my all time favorite characters to life!!! I have been waiting years and years for a decent audio book of The Belgariad and Malloreon series, and this over delivers!!! I am patiently waiting the remaining books and will order them all. Please, please, please continue with the fantastic work. I cannot say enough about the amazing writing and world building of David Eddings, other than to commend the narrator for bringing this story to life!

Absolutely Incredible

When the narrator is simply reading the text, he is phenomenal. his pacing is wonderful, and he keeps me on the edge of my seat. But he simply cannot do voices. whether it's Barak sounding like he's from the Bronx or Yarblek's Mexican-Irish accent, they just don't work. Even worse, his voices aren't consistent.

Narrator is inconsistent

new narrator didn't continue with the same pronunciations of names etc established in the first two books. performance did not do justice to the characters.

narrator changes mid series blows.

The narrator as narrator is great. Pacing is perfect but the accents are really poor and so inconsistent except for Keldar, he’s the only one who’s the same throughout. The others? Are you Irish, Scottish, Spanish, Czech or a combination of many?? Sigh.

Love the book - narration/accents just annoying
