Belgarath the Sorcerer Audible Audiobook – Unabridged

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.

5.0 out of 5 stars What is in it for you? :)

If you are one of the many fans of "The Belgariad" and "The Malloreon", here is another treat for you. If you haven't had the pleasure of reading those wonderful epic fantasy series, make yourself a favour and read them before tackling "Belgarath the sorcerer". You can thank me later for introducing you to a wonderful new imaginary world and to likeable characters :)

"Belgarath the sorcerer" starts just where "The Malloreon" ended, that is the book "Seeress of Kell". And, strangely enough, it is nothing less than Belgarath's autobiography. As those who have read the series already know, Belgarath is a notoriously lazy sorcerer, probably the least likely person to feel the need to write his story. Unless someone compels him to do so, of course. But to know who or what could do that to an all-powerful sorcerer, you must read this book.

What is in it for you?. Well, lots of fun, and the opportunity to know how things really started, from the point of view of one of the main characters in the series. You get to accompany Belgarath from his birth in the small village of Gara, to the fateful day when he met Aldur and became first his pupil and then his disciple. In case you are as curious as me, you will also be grateful to know that this book will allow you to learn more about Belgarath's family, and to live wondrous adventures with him and his friends.

Personally, I found the opportunity of "living" the things I had merely read about in the previous books specially rewarding. The fact that Belgarath's memories span thousands of years gives the reader the opportunity of gaining a good perspective on all the things that happened, thus preparing him to read the previous books in the series in a different way. A warning is in order, though. If you haven't read the previously mentioned books, this book has big-time spoilers, so please don't risk ruining the surprises those series have for you. Do first things first, and read "The Belgariad" and "The Malloreon" before "Belgarath the sorcerer".

All in all, I loved reading this book, and I highly recommend it to those who aren't ready to leave the world of Belgarath and his friends. Enjoy it!

5.0 out of 5 stars Pure Entertainment

This marks the fourth time I have read this story by the Eddings. I know it is fantasy but the characters feel very much alive and real in the stories this couple wrote over the years. Sad to think those days are gone but the stories they wrote live on to give pure enjoyment to anyone opening one of their books. Few story tellers today come close to their mastery of the tale.

This is a 2-part review.
My husband introduced me to this series so I decided to buy them all for Christmas this past year. Unfortunately the package was lost in the mail for weeks before I asked for a refund, but the seller was very understanding and issued the refund.

Since then I have found another copy and I am nearly finished reading it. It is a fabulous read and worth every page! I highly recommend David Eddings novels to anyone who wants to immerse themself in an intricate fantasy world that rivals Tolkien.

4.0 out of 5 stars A "Must Read" for the True Belgariad/Mallorean Fan
Reviewed in the United States on October 19, 2014

This is one of my favorites from David Eddings. It takes a nice behind-the-scenes look at the events leading up to the Belgariad series including the history of the land and how its characters, cultures and traditions came into being. It includes all of the usual dry, witty humor characteristic of Eddings' books. Since it is written in the first person, we get a glimpse into who Belgarath really is and how he thinks about life. It is entertaining and funny. It is a "must read" if you are a fan of the Belgariad or Mallorean series.

5.0 out of 5 stars An old favorite I come back to time and again.
Reviewed in the United States on June 9, 2016

This 12 volume set was the first adult fantasy set I ever picked up and I have lost count of how many times I have read it. I was ecstatic when David Eddings wrote "Belgarath" and then "Polgara". Getting the beginning stories, and then being able to better understand some of what happens in the original two sets, is a wonderful way of rounding out the stories. But know that you have to read the original stories first or you won't understand a lot of little comments made and it will make things very confusing when you do read the main sets. I highly recommend you get started on "Pawn of Prophecy"'and dive your way into a wonderful, complete world that has it all, running away in the night, sorcery, treachery, small fights, wars, family love and squabbles and even its own romance as well as Epic battles of Good vs Evil! I really think you will be glad you did!

I have read the complete Belgariad and Maloreon series about 17 times. Every time I feel like a holiday I grab it. This is fantasy and humor competing with the best (I read Lord of the Rings only 7 times).
The characters are well developed and true to the various nations of which they are members. They sometimes make you cry but often you laygh out loud for the dry humor they display. When I first picked up Pawn of Prophesy I could not put it down and went right through the series of 12 books.
Although Belgarath the Sorcerer is the 2nd last book of the series it actually gives you the pre-history of the whole story, but it should not be read first. The Follow up book" Polgara the sorceress which is the last one in the series actually ends where the series begins.
Fact is when you have finished Polgara you feel a great loss. Maybe someday somebody will attempt to make a film series out of this, but that will be a major challenge.
David and Leigh Eddings created an outstanding story

The entire series of books are excellent and I recommend them all. This book tells Belgarath’s story. Once you have enjoyed all the other books, this gives you another chance to relive all the story, from beginning to end, with some extra details that just makes it enjoyable from beginning to end. Pol’s book will also become a must read too 😊😊
