Publisher's Summary
Polgara is the epic culmination of a magnificent saga, and a fitting farewell to a world that, 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 3,000 years. Now, Polgara looks back at her magnificent life, in this fitting crown jewel to the saga that is the Eddingses' 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.
Fantasy fan? Listen to titles in the Malloreon series, which is a sequel to David Eddings's Belgariad series.

Great Story
Wonderful story. Absolutely loved it.
The only gripe I have is, as usual, when a series changes narrators is the pronunciation of certain names and places. Would it really kill them to listen to the previous versions of it and learn them?
And also while I found Dina Pearlman’s voice clear and understandable, her husky voice sounded more like she should be narrating 50 shades of grey than an epic fantasy novel.

Brilliant story, averagely performanced
I struggled to get through this and it's a real shame as I happily listened to all of Cameron bierlies versions of the belgariad and mallorean. For some reason, Dinas voice was shrill and was hard to listen to. Great book and I would recommend it but it was a very long time to listen to Dina

Fantastic book
Great listen. While there are some name pronunciation discrepancies from Belgarath the Sorcerer, they are fairly minor and don't really detract from the story as a whole. The narrator is clear and precise, making the book a very easy listening experience.

Pronunciations terrible.
The pronunciation of names is a lot to be desired. Perhaps the narrator should have listened to the previous books by Beierley to see how things sounded

Disrespectful narration
I have always loved this story. After listening to the 11 books narrated by Cameron Bierle, this is proving a sad conclusion. I appreciate the desire to have a female narrator but Bierle's Pol was more than suitable. Dina you had 11 previous books for source material and you clearly neglected them all. Your pronunciation of places and names is terrible and the voices you chose don't fit the characters. C'Nedra sounds like a crone, Beltira and Belkira sound like frail old women instead of burly Alorns and Beldin sounds like a gentleman. If most listeners weren't 11 books in I am sure we would all drop this disappointment.

Readers ruin story.
The voices are TOOAmerican for my ear, and for hat reason many of their pronunciations are off, then too is how to read a paragraph .. emphasis in the wrong place and also many on the wrong word. Please, use voices and that don’t hurt the ear and don’t try to characterise all characters. They just are not proficient to get away with that. This book is not alone in those faults perceived by me.

Love the final story
The final conclusion of the story of Belgarath and family.
The story is excellent. The narration a little disappointing, I don't think she listened to the other books in the series as her pronunciations did not match
