To the forest on the shore of the Kingdom of the Isles, the orphan Pug came to study with the master magician Kulgan. But though his courage won him a place at court and the heart of a lovely princess, he was ill at ease with the normal ways of wizardry. Yet Pug's strange sort of magic would one day change forever the fates of two worlds. For dark beings from another world had opened a rift in the fabric of spacetime to being again the age-old battle between the forces of Order and Chaos.

He’s going to need courage, he’s going to need wit, and he’s going to need some magic powers of his own. But first, he’s going to need pants.

Long ago, so the Storyteller claimed, the evil god Torak sought dominion and drove men and Gods to war. But Belgrath the Sorcerer led men to reclaim the Orb that protected the West. So long as it lay at Riva, the prophecy went, men would be safe. That was only a story, and Garion did not believe in magic dooms, even though the man without a shadow had haunted him for years.

Minalan gave up a promising career as a professional warmage to live the quiet life of a village spellmonger in the remote mountain valley of Boval. It was a peaceful, beautiful little fief, far from the dangerous feudal petty squabbles of the Five Duchies, on the world of Callidore. There were cows. Lots of cows. And cheese. For six months things went well: He found a quaint little shop, he befriended the local lord, the village folk loved him, he found a sharp young apprentice to help out, and, best yet, he met a comely young widow with the prettiest eyes.

The narrator makes is SO bad.
This is not one of my favorite books but I like to read/listen to them in order. The narrator is awful and his pronunciations are horrendous. He cannot pronounce normal words and his pronunciation of names is even worse. Aroota? Ugh. I am not sure I want to listen to the next books he narrates in this series.

this trilogy is much less enjoyable than the prior
this trilogy is more of a slog than the prior sagas. the narrator was ok, though he continued to use weird inflection or pronunciation.
the storyline seemed more forced. there were several places entire chapters could be cut without losing anything from the story. additionally, this book specifically had a weird cut from the main story to the epilog.

Amazing story, barely passable narrator
This narrator is unable to distinguish between characters and makes very strange pronunciation choices. For those of you who are listening for nostalgic reasons, be prepared to be introduced to “Lewis” and “Aroota” who I remember as Luis and Arutha.

voice actor needs replacement
Peter Joyce butchers so many words in the narration of this story it is hard to follow at times. i am a long time fan of Raymond Frost and have read all of his books multiple times. I even played his video game, etc but Joyce doesn't seem to follow anyone else's pronunciation but his own. it is cringe worthy. if you are a long time fan stick to the book, unless you are very patient and can handle your favorite characters names being butchered continuously.

Narrator is not great
The story is amazing, but the narrator really isn’t good at lending accents to the characters. The accents given are decidedly Irish, Norwegian, etc. Thomas is pronounced Toe-mass, Arutha is A-Root-Ah, Calis has a feminine voice.
It takes away from the story a bit.
