About this listen
Mythmakers and world builders of the first order, the Eddingses spin tales that make imaginations soar. Listeners have thrilled to The Belgariad and The Malloreon, magic-filled masterworks chronicling the timeless conflict between good and evil. But with those sagas brought to their triumphant conclusions, fans were left hungry for more. Now at last the wait is over. With The Redemption of Althalus, the Eddingses have created their first-ever stand-alone epic fantasy....
It would be sheer folly to try to conceal the true nature of Althalus, for his flaws are the stuff of legend. He is, as all men know, a thief, a liar, an occasional murderer, an outrageous braggart, and a man devoid of even the slightest hint of honor.
Yet of all the men in the world, it is Althalus, unrepentant rogue and scoundrel, who will become the champion of humanity in its desperate struggle against the forces of an ancient god determined to return the universe to nothingness. On his way to steal The Book from the House at the End of the World, Althalus is confronted by a cat - a cat with eyes like emeralds, the voice of a woman, and the powers of a goddess. She is Dweia, sister to The Gods and a greater thief even than Althalus. She must be: for in no time at all, she has stolen his heart. And more. She has stolen time itself. For when Althalus leaves the House at the End of the World, much wiser but not a day older than when he'd first entered it, thousands of years have gone by.
But Dweia is not the only one able to manipulate time. Her evil brother shares the power, and while Dweia has been teaching Althalus the secrets of The Book, the ancient God has been using the dark magic of his own Book to rewrite history. Yet all is not lost. But only if Althalus, still a thief at heart, can bring together a ragtag group of men, women, and children with no reason to trust him or each other. Boldly written and brilliantly imagined, The Redemption of Althalus is an epic fantasy to be savored in the listening and returned to again and again for the wisdom, excitement, and humor that only the Eddingses can provide.

Fabulous book. bland narrative
Narration was ok, could've been better but didnt spoil the book too much.
Accents were bland with little emotion.

A beautifully told saga that ensnares and absorbs.
Hands down, the best standalone read I have ever found. I have recommended this book to many friends and I never tire of the enchanment woven by these masterful fantasy legends leading to over a dozen re-reads.

very enjoyable
I thoroughly enjoyed the narrator's voices throughout the story. And the story itself was well thought out and executed. Definitely recommend this good read.

The Eddings do it again
Some of the best fantasy writing I've ever read. They put so much LIFE into the characters of all their books.

An acquired taste
I loved the book when I read it, and enjoyed this audiobook just as much.
Only downside was the voice acting, so listen to the sample before getting it to make sure that it is for you. I’m doing fine with one person doing all the voices, but I know that’s not for everyone.
