Guardians of the West

The Malloreon, Book 1

De: David Eddings

Narrado por: Eric Michael Summerer

Warned by the prophecy that a new and greater danger threatens the lands of the west, Garion, Belgarath, and Polgara must begin another quest to save the lands from great evil.

Three years have passed since Garion's killing of the evil god Torak and his marriage to Ce'Nedra. He is now Overlord of the West, slowly learning how to cope with the duties of a king and to overcome the difficulties within his marriage.

When the Orb of Aldur warns Garion to "Beware Zandramas!" the Voice of Prophecy reveals that somewhere in the unknown land of the East the Dark Prophecy still exists and that great new dangers threaten.

While Belgarath and Garion seek to uncover the nature of this threat, Garion's baby son is kidnapped. All evidence points to the loathsome Bear-cult, which has gained power once more, and Garion leads an army bent on its destruction. But there are even more sinister forces at work, and Garion and his followers must look towards the malign and mysterious evil of Zandramas. Their quest must begin again.

Way Too Many Weird Names

I couldn’t follow this story line at all. Too many weird names and characters to keep track of. I’ve liked his books in the past, but this one missed the mark for me.

Good story

Was used to the original narrator from the first series of books. A little hard to get into this one

Wonderful story line

the storyline is great, easy to keep up with and we'll told by the reader

Great writer!

Consistent flow of story. Story holds your attention. You get into the story and see their world through their eyes.

Good story and we'll read

Finally someone who understands that shouting, whispers, accents and sounding like a girl isn't necessary for a book to be read! 🙂
