About this listen

 Six years had passed since the redoubtable knight Sparhawk had triumphed over the evil God Azash and returned to Elenia with Queen Ehlana, his bride. And now a new danger had arisen to threaten the peace of Ehlana's realm. The trouble had started quietly. At home, bandits began to plague the hill country. In neighboring Lamorkand, the customary political unrest turned ominous with whispers that the bloody heroes of old soon would rise again. And travelers reported that the Trolls had all disappeared from the icy northern haunts of Thalesia. Simple problems, apparently unrelated - until an ambassador arrived from the far-off Tamul empire, begging Sparhawk's aid. These same dangers that stalked Ehlana's kingdom had already struck his realm full-force.

The fabled ancient warriors of Tamuli had indeed returned - intent on carnage. Monsters and fell magics had followed, and the havoc and terror they spawned were tearing the empire apart. The empire had sent for the Pandion Knight who had killed the God Azash. If Sparhawk wanted to stop this danger before it could savage his own land, he now must lend his aid. Sparhawk, Ehlana, and their daughter, Princess Danae, agreed to make the grueling trek to the far-distant empire of the east. They traveled in company with a handful of trusted companions: the stalwart champions of the four Militant Orders, the knight Berit, Mirtai the giantess, and the young thief Talen. With the child-goddess Aphrael to speed their journey, they began the treacherous traverse of the utmost reaches of the Daresian continent, to Tamul's distant capital. There, in the emperor's glittering court, they would encounter corruption, treachery - and a greater danger than any man had faced before!

awesome story but.....

I love David Eddings but when the narrator put on an Irish accent that was a bit too much.

Great story but poor narration

I could forgive the narrator for not having the range to do the characters well but when he changes the pronouncement of the names and makes the characters, which have already been well established, change so much from the previous series it just shows he put in no time or effort researching before carrying the story on. Nearly finished the second book and still finding these things irritating to listen to.

Love Eddings and Preferred this narrator

The narrator of the Elenium was poor - I was glad they changed him for this series. Whilst his accents and some of the pronunciations were distracting in this series, his actual story telling was far superior.

Good Story

Good Story - narration and production questionable

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.

Great story, but oh dear.. this narrator!

Would you listen to Domes of Fire again? Why?

Yes, but for the story, not the narration.

What didn’t you like about Kevin Pariseau’s performance?

His ability to create characters is really limited and sometimes you have no idea who is talking! Plus, he pronounced things differently to the first series narrator- surely that back history is important for continuity?
