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.

The Wasteland is a barren and hideous wilderness ruled by the Vlagh - a godlike creature whose young are evil spawn. Now, as the elder gods are about to transfer their power to the younger gods, the Vlagh plans to take advantage of their weakened state and neutralize them, eventually conquering the world. To do so, it is breeding a terrible force borne of monsters and demons. But one ray of hope shines through the darkness: four children called the Dreamers. They alone hold the power to change the course of history...and stop the Vlagh in its quest for total world domination.

Then tragedy strikes: A vicious attack leaves one twin dead and the other so traumatized that she turns totally inward, incapable of telling anyone what happened or even who she is. She remains lost to the world, until the day Mark, a family friend, comes to visit - and the young woman utters her first intelligible word. As she recovers, still with no memory of the past, her nightmares grow steadily more frightful, followed by wild fits of hysteria and dark mood swings....

Publisher's summary
Polgara is the epic culmination of a magnificent saga, and a fitting farewell to a world which, 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 three thousand years. Now, Polgara looks back at her magnificent life, in this fitting crown jewel to the saga that is the Eddings' 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.

The Wasteland is a barren and hideous wilderness ruled by the Vlagh - a godlike creature whose young are evil spawn. Now, as the elder gods are about to transfer their power to the younger gods, the Vlagh plans to take advantage of their weakened state and neutralize them, eventually conquering the world. To do so, it is breeding a terrible force borne of monsters and demons. But one ray of hope shines through the darkness: four children called the Dreamers. They alone hold the power to change the course of history...and stop the Vlagh in its quest for total world domination.

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.

Agree on the narrator
Dina Pearlman has a great voice and she works as Polgara, but as so many Steves have already pointed out, her pronunciations are maddening. MaloREEuh and CHEWtick put my teeth on edge. I downoaded the Conan stories and that narrator pronounced it SimmuhREEuh. Almost ruins it for me. And it's why I didn't get Belgarath the Sorcerer. I was hoping it would be Cameron Bierle on that and it wasn't and the guy's pronunciations were worse than Dina Pearlman's.
Other than that, though, if the pronunciation doesn't bother you, it's a great story with a narrator with a great voice and worth the listen.

Good story but narrator change from previous books causes issues
For anyone who has listened to the other books in the series read by Cameron Beierle, the pronunciation of various names and locations can take away from the immersion into the story.

Good, entertaining fun.
Would you listen to Polgara the Sorceress again? Why?
Probably. Dina Pearlman has a very nice voice, but her narration for male characters seems a little odd to me.
What about Dina Pearlman’s performance did you like?
She has a VERY nice voice. Not quite exactly what I wanted for Polgara, but pretty close. She seemed to to get into character nicely.
Any additional comments?
It's a little hard shifting gears from the previous books all read by Cameron Beierle to this narrator. Beierle had his faults, but his narrations are the best so far. But all in all, the reading and character voices were well done. She kept it fun, the way it should be.
However, I seriously wish the narrators would put in the time to get the name pronunciations right. I really don't understand how they can mangle some of them so badly. Here's something "straight from the horse's mouth" I found after a 15 second Google search.

Good read
Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
Yes because it is a different type of book and keeps you interested.
What was one of the most memorable moments of Polgara the Sorceress?
When she was put into a position where she had to learn how to dance.
What about Dina Pearlman’s performance did you like?
I thought her voice matched the type of story.
If you were to make a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?
Not sure.
Any additional comments?
I thought the narrator's voice matched the story just fine.

Excellent performance of an excellent novel
Where does Polgara the Sorceress rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?
It's one of my favorites.
What was one of the most memorable moments of Polgara the Sorceress?
The fall of Vo Wacune: it made my cry when I first read the book years ago, and hearing it again I still teared up. It's heartbreaking.
What about Dina Pearlman’s performance did you like?
Pearlman's acting is just right, it draws you in and it utilizes a consistent set of voices within an impressive range for the different characters. She can pull of a low, raspy brogue as well as a lilting soprano. The characters had diverse voices that kept it easy to follow who was speaking.
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
I certainly never got bored. It was something like 30 hours long though, and eventually you do feel the need to do something else.
Any additional comments?
I listen to audiobooks at work, and I've found it's important for them to be performed well for me to be able to follow when a small portion of my attention has to actually be on whatever boring task I'm doing. Pearlman's acting was superb, and I was never forced to jump back 30 seconds to figure out who was speaking or what was being said. It was very well performed.

Narrator captured the full nature of Polgara with all of her nuances and facets! A most enjoyable performance! The story rounded out and completed the Belgariad and Mallorean epics most satisfactorily. Added a lot of depth to already well loved characters and filled in the story with rich detail.

A good read a bad listen.
I've read every David Eddings book 10 times over and this is one of the weaker ones. I suspect Leigh Eddings had more to do with this book than the others in the series, not a bad thing on its face but this book has a different tone than the others. Polgara is a Mary Sue which is fine when the voice I use when I read the book sounds more patient, understanding and benevolent. The narrator of this book makes Polgara come off as arrogant, haughty, belligerent and just insufferable. The narrator, as other reviewers have pointed out, did not listen to any of the other books in the series and because of that miss pronounces damn near every name in the book. The names are pretty bad but the narrator pronounced other words in just odd ways that takes me right out of the story. An example is how the narrator pronounces things really oddly is archipelago. She pronounced it Arch a Peel Go. I had stop the book and rewind to make sure I heard that correctly.
Over all the book is a 3 out of 5, this audible version is a 1 out of 5. I don't think I'll ever get the sounds of Chew-tick out of my head now thanks to this narrator.
