Description

Sparhawk, the Pandion Knight and Queen's Champion, returns from a long spell of exile to find his native land overrun with evil and intrigue, and his young queen grievously ill. Indeed, Ehlana lies magically entombed within a block of crystal, doomed to die unless a cure can be found within a year.

But as Sparhawk and his allies - who include Sephrenia, the ageless sorceress, and Flute, the strange and powerful girl-child - seek to save Ehlana and the land, they discover that the evil is even greater and more pervasive than they had feared.

"[Eddings] draws once more on his particular strengths, combining heroic yet humorous characters with exotic settings and tangled politics to create a fast-moving fantasy that will appeal to his large readership." ( Library Journal)

A great tale

I found David Eddings books when I was 14. I have read and reread them for the last 36 years. They are some of the best 'stories' you will ever read. Every time I finish a set I feel like I'm saying goodbye to old and close friends when I close the back cover or hit stop on the player. I constantly keep going back. They are all great reads!

Trope Filled in a Good Way!

The Diamond throne and the rest of the series always felt like it was designed to show that all the nuanced and innuendo the characters did in the Belgariad and the Mallorean to be shed off here, only really happening around one particular character but otherwise showing a semi-realistic dose of inter-politics and also a meshing of magic and knightly orders. The plot itself is fairly straight forward, with a character who is cynical at times but determined all the same, and has far too much experienced in dealing with all the bumps and interruptions the world can throw at him. The incentive to speed along the journey feels sometimes thrown in there as an arbitrary device to make some notion of emotional drain on the protagonists and perhaps it should have been extended and then limited which knights died; for the impact was much better struck home when we met each knight and were given a taste of the character before they passed on.

The antagonists start out very clumsy and a little obvious, but get better with time. You will question why one particular king seems to have all the authority a lot, fair warning. Greg Abby does a good job, though his pronunciation has me very confused on character names that seem straight forward and got made complex for no reason.

five stars*

It took me a bit to warm up to the narrator but the whole thing was an amazing ride and left me wanting more the main characters all stand out and the story is a must for fantasy story fans.

As I said to me a bit to warm up to the narrator but he did an absolutely fantastic job and deserves credit for his work here I will be looking for more work of his!

Great book....bad narrator.

Too bad the narrator can't pronounce words correctly... I'll listen to them because they are the only ones I can find of these books.

Decent reading of an excellent book.

While the narrator speaks far too slowly, the speed control works to make him tolerable. 1.2x is perfect. His pronunciation of almost every name is off, in my opinion (even at regular speed) but that seems fairly common. Overall, well worth the time.

Boring with lots of unnecessary sexism and violence

Made worse by one of the worst narrations I’ve ever heard in my life, this book is incredibly boring. Every single character seems to have the same vocal tics and speech patterns, the same ideals, etc, except for the styrics who stand in for Jewish people with magic and are treated with a lot of racism. There is constant unnecessary sexualization and demonization of female characters who all fall into the very generic stereotypes of whore or mother or virgin. Nothing happens in this book except for a lot of peacocking and violence. Do not recommend.
