Publisher's Summary

Polgara is the epic culmination of a magnificent saga, and a fitting farewell to a world which, once experienced, will never be forgotten.

She soars above a world of warriors, kings, and priests. The daughter of Belgarath and the shape-shifter Poledra, she has fought wars, plotted palace coups, and worked her powerful magic for three thousand years. Now, Polgara looks back at her magnificent life, in this fitting crown jewel to the saga that is the Eddings' Belgariad and Mallorean cycles.

Her hair streaked white by her father's first touch, her mind guided by a mother she will not see again for centuries, Polgara begins life in her Uncle Beldin's tower, and in the prehistorical, magical Tree that stands in the middle of the Vale. There, she first learns the reaches of her powers. There she assumes the bird shapes that will serve her on her adventures. And there she starts on the path toward her destiny as Duchess of Erat, shepherdess of the cause of good, adversary of Torak the One-Eyed Dragon God, and guardian of the world's last, best hope: the heir to the Rivan throne.

Here is the legendary life story of a woman of wit, passion, and complex emotions, a woman born of two majestic parents who could not have been more unlike one another. Ordained to make peace and make war, to gain love and lose love, Polgara lives out her family's rich prophecy in the ceaseless struggle between the Light and the Dark.

Good, but....

The pronunciation throughout the story drove me nuts. Otherwise I love the book. I wish the narrator from the main storyline had collaborated on all the books with this narrator. Also wish this narrator had worked on the pronunciation.

Fills in the Gaps

Didn't really like the different voices used by the narrator, kinda got on my nerves.
story line was good & filled in some gaps and rounded out the series.

well after listening to the series this book gave some great back ground. I was glad I listened to it.

Awesome book, not so awesome narrator

I’ve read this book many times since it was released. It’s a great way to end the story of Belgarian. However, I do not like the narrator. Many words are mispronounced including common English words. Her voice just grates on my nerves but that’s a personal thing I suppose.

Familiar Favorite

I have been reading this book for 20 years and was really nervous about the voice actor. She's actually very good, and, apart from the voice of Ce'Nedra, I had no issues at all with her realization of these characters! I highly recommended it

Awful Characterization

I love this story. It's my favourite by the authors. The only reason I didn't quit it the first two chapters. When Dina Perlman is just reading, her voice is wonderful. Rich and a pleasure to listen to. Unfortunately, all the women she characterizes sound like shrill shrews. All of them. All the time. And they way she portrays the men isn't much better. I will never listen to another audio book Ms Pearlman is "performing"
