About this listen
But Bhellion carried dangers of its own. Once the stone came into his hands, Sparhawk found himself stalked by a dark, lurking menace. Whether the foul Zemoch god Azash was behind this threat, or some other enemy, even Sephrenia could not say - only that the sapphire rose held powers too dangerous for any mortal to bear.
Restoring Queen Ehlana would only be the beginning of Sparhawk's mission. With the aid of four stalwart knights, one from each Militant Order, he must thwart Ehlana's poisoner, the Primate Annias, in his plot to assume the throne of the Church. For, as Archprelate, Annias would serve his secret master, Azash, and deliver up to the dread god the one thing Azash thirsted for - Bhelliom itself!

Stands the test of time
Story is still great, even after this time. David Eddings adds just the right amount of humour and his characters are consistent, no WTF moments because the actions if a character di not make sense. They do interesting things that seem out of character but makes sense in the moment. Skill of a good author. Enjoyed the narrator also.

Another Great Eddings Fable
Great story by Eddings.
Although it takes a little while to get used to the narrator he grows on you. Some of the pronunciation is interesting / comical but he is consistent.

Again the mispronunciations distract from the story
Enjoyed the conclusion to this trilogy, but the narrator still mispronounces words - weapons are apparently kept in a cachet not a cache- and now randomly speeds up, quite markedly at some points. Maybe he’s had enough and just wants to rush to the end. He often forgets to stop the character voice so says “he said” in the same voice he just said it in. The other really annoying habit is not to apply the emotion. For example the story says ‘and why should we, she said with deep contempt’ but he just states it without the contempt. I’ll actually make a note to avoid any books with this narrator.

The final book of The Elenium
Great story by Eddings ruined by poor narration and very questionable production. Greg Abby's constant mispronouncing of words, e.g. Gnome (the G is silent yet he uses it????) is ridiculous and makes me wonder why the production staff didn't do something about it. Abby's silly female portrayals seem to become confused at times and are totally unnecessary.
Glad I persisted to conclude the trilogy BUT I'm relived to be past this poor attempt of narration.

Irritating pronunciation by the narrator
Great books by the master Eddings. The narrator constantly mispronounced words like Basalt, influence and even Roof and Hoof. It just detracts and you wonder what he was thinking.

vocalisations
The story flows so well with good characters and the vocalisations add another level to the immersion.

David Eddings is excellent!
I do really like the Sparhawk stories though. Excellent dialogue and very engaging characters. Brilliant!

A classic fantasy favourite
The whole of this series is enjoyable from start to finish. David Eddings created a fascinating medieval-inspired world full of knights, royalty, gods and magic and brought it to life with a classic epic quest fantasy storyline interwoven with light hearted humour and loveable characters. A favourite!
