Story4.5 out of 5 stars 118
The Wasteland is a barren and hideous wilderness ruled by the Vlagh - a godlike creature whose young are evil spawn. Now, as the elder gods are about to transfer their power to the younger gods, the Vlagh plans to take advantage of their weakened state and neutralize them, eventually conquering the world. To do so, it is breeding a terrible force borne of monsters and demons. But one ray of hope shines through the darkness: four children called the Dreamers. They alone hold the power to change the course of history...and stop the Vlagh in its quest for total world domination.

It would be sheer folly to try to conceal the true nature of Althalus, for his flaws are the stuff of legend. He is, as all men know, a thief, a liar, an occasional murderer, an outrageous braggart, and a man devoid of even the slightest hint of honor. Yet of all the men in the world, it is Althalus, unrepentant rogue and scoundrel, who will become the champion of humanity in its desperate struggle against the forces of an ancient god determined to return the universe to nothingness.

Eerily attuned to one another, twins Regina and Renata are so identical that even their mother can’t tell them apart. Then tragedy strikes: A vicious attack leaves one twin dead and the other so traumatized that she turns totally inward, incapable of telling anyone what happened or even who she is. She remains lost to the world, until the day Mark, a family friend, comes to visit - and the young woman utters her first intelligible word. As she recovers, still with no memory of the past, her nightmares grow steadily more frightful, followed by wild fits of hysteria and dark mood swings....

Still, the full magnitude of their peril was yet to be revealed...Cyrgon had dared the unthinkable: He had called forth Kleal, Bhelliom's opposite, to rend the very world asunder. Thus, as it had ever been decreed, would Bhelliom and Kleal contend for the fate of this world--even as the man Sparhawk must finally face the God Cyrgon, in mortal combat and alone...

A good conclusion to the series.
This is a good story that ties up all lose ends from the series nicely. I enjoyed it and did not have any problems with the narrarator that a small but incredibly vocal minority seemed to have. The key is that out of 136 reviews the nararrator still averages 4.3 stars so you do the math. Once again , I advise listening to the sample and coming to your own conclusion on the quality of the narraration. Still, worth a credit in my opinion.

Highly recommended
I really enjoyed listening to this. The story is captivating and very well thought out. The narration is great. Kevin Pariseau, the narrator, speaks clearly and is easy to listen too. He also does a fantastic job giving each character a unique voice so that they are easily distinguished when giving dialogue. All in all a wonderful experience and one that I look forward to reliving in the future.

Good story bad narration
Reader has good voice and intonation, clear defined and brings our the story. Trouble is he mispronounces so many words it destroys the overall story. I have the original audible on tape the narrator was not as good a story teller but he pronounced the words and names correctly. This guy should listen to those find out how to say the names then try again. If you had not heard the original audible story you may have thought this one was ok. If you had then you would be debating getting your money back

The bad guys folly
the bad guys kidnap the queen and her handmaid. Big mistake there. now the Troll gods, the child god, and worst of all the queens champion and husband Sparhawk, with his companions are not happy. Honestly I like how the troll gods think is a suitable form of punishment, but I'm a pyro. so where to they run and hide.
the thing I love the most about Shinning Ones is what I love here more. there is now points of view of eight different friends. each has there own tasks to do in order to save the queen and win the war of a forgotten god.
Also still loving the great team he did in secret with his wife Leah Eddings to make the characters more alive. this is a exciting conclusion to two trilogies that has a major twist that I enjoy greatly.

Was The Hidden City worth the listening time?
yes, if you overlooked the mispronunciation by the narrator

just a terrible terrible book, even the narration was annoying in the end as he had such shallow 2 dimensional, contradictory nasty characters to narrate.
I can't believe Eddings had made a living with a 3rd class fantasy rip off, hateful books purchased on sale and now thankfully finished, never again!

Captures the essence
i had read the books a couple of times in Danish. But needed to hear them. Glad I did. They fully gave an even brighter picture then I already had about the world and how Sparehawk moved around ind it.

Pronunciation at times lacking.
Should check pronunciation before committing to tape. Story fantastic. More Sparhawk, More Flute and certainly more Pandions

Brilliant listening
Absolutely gripping. Even while wanting to know the end was sad when it finally finished. The narration took you in and didnt let go until the end. Yet another magical series by David Eddings

I love David Eddings
Every part of this is good. I wish David Eddings could come back and do more.

Brilliant conclusion to the 2nd series. 😀

I'm ready for the next book!
As with book two, I eagerly await starting the next book. The storylines remains fascinating.

Another great story undermined by bad narration
Like I said about book 1 and 2 - I'm an Eddings fan. Read the books as they were released. Was excited to revisit via audio release. The story was as good as I remembered but the narrator and the music was all very disappointing in the extreme. The narrator mispronouncing the English language (and not being corrected by production staff) is ridiculous.
Have a listen but be prepared for these anomalies.

It’s sad when an excellent story is marred by a sub standard reader.
Yes, so it is, sad when a poor reader spoils an authors story by poor reading, mis-pronounced words, bad pausing in sentences, and lousy characterisations. Sorry David Eddings, but whoever chose Kevin Pariseau as reader for your book did you no favours.

Narrator atrocious!!!!!
I absolutely love David Eddings books however the narrator's attempts at character voices and accents was atrocious. I struggled to finish this book and almost stopped on numerous occasions because of the attempted accents. The storyline seemed to drag on with many problems having very convenient solutions appearing making it very predictable. As I have already completed the rest of the books in his collection the time invested required a conclusion to the series a little disappointing but I have the consolation of knowing that I've finished the series.

Good not great
Worth it if you love the books.
It is a good audio book trilogy
It would have been better to have both trilogies read by the same Narrator, but still a good performance.
Some of the characters names are pronounced differently from the first Trilogy of the Sparhawk Saga, but by the fifth or sixth chapter you get used to it.
The music was annoying and popped up at odd chapters, completely unnecessary.

sparhawk is awesome.
one of my favourite authors, such a great series.
i did have a few issues with pronounciation of names and such but overall i think the narrator did a good hob with the wide cast of characters

I read these when I was in my early 20s so I wanted to see if I still loved them now that I'm in my 50s. I do!
