I absolutely loved the intro to this series, I just really hope audible follows the entire series to its conclusion.

Great Story and dynamic narration

Great story with lots of details about that period of history without being dry. Loved the narration with all the different accents for so many characters. Can't wait to listen to the rest of the series.

Colourful and Entertaining

I thoroughly enjoyed this entertaining and colourful story which brings to life a period of history that is often glossed over these days. The narrator is excellent and breathes so much life into all the characters and situations. It held my attention from beginning to end.

Entertaining

Colin Morgan is absolutely superb in this. Each character is individually voiced, with a variety of accents, while the overall narration is a softer version of his native northern Irish. The story is entertaining, although I'm not sure how historically accurate it is. That is unimportant; it's a fun medieval tale, and I hope Colin reads the others in the series.

Interesting historically but didn't draw me in

one of my first audiobooks. I did enjoy this and certainly got me more interested in the events of the time, but I don't think I will pick up subsequent episodes. Enjoyed the narrator and he did try to make all the characters distinct. There were quite a few so it took time to get used to them. None of them are particularly likeable and it is heavy on the action rather than flowery prose

Great Book.

It is difficult to overpraise this book. It is a long time since I enjoyed a book so much - and it is really instructive in a way that is
very enjoyable.
What a great narrator. I hope he reads the rest of this series when they are written.

The many voices of Colin Morgan

Not sure I would have chosen this story if I hadnt been interested in how Colin Morgan would narrate it. I was not disappointed. He brought it alive, what could have been a tale which could have been overwhelming with characters was given a signature voice and personality! Really enjoyed it.. onto book 2!

Enjoyably story excellently performed

An enjoyable story and an interesting depiction of French and English court intricacies and politics of the 12th century. The author has done excellent research on the topic and the fact that the story is rooted in historical events is an angle I find interesting. The combination of that and colorful (and dark) fictional characters makes it a great story and the sublime storytelling from the narrator made it very captivating.
Colin Morgan keeps your attention by perfectly emphasizing and changing pace as well as effortlessly shifting between countless individually voiced characters and the voice of the storyteller.
In short: An outstanding performance and a very good story.
