Favorite since Keeble

Revisado: 03-09-23

This one stands out as one of my favorite in the series. The story was amongst the best and Matt Bates does a very good job with narration.

Good listen, just a bit disappointing to lose Keeble

Revisado: 01-26-23

This is a great book and Sellwood does a fine job reading. But unfortunately, he has to follow the master J. Keeble, and it’s nigh impossible to match such a perfect performance. Found myself drifting and having to rewind this one much more than the books narrated by Keeble.

Jonathan Keeble is a master

Revisado: 01-08-23

I listened to another of Bernard Cornwell’s series last year — the Warlord Chronicles. It instantly became one of my favorite series, with a fantastic story and primary characters, and masterful narration by Jonathan Keeble. I was incredibly excited to see that Keeble also did the narration for this series. I was not disappointed.

To start with the book itself, Bernard Cornwell’s writing is exhilarating and unique. There are many sword-warlord novels out there, but few have the ability to truly display the depth of thought and relatable human emotion that Cornwell achieves in the Last Kingdom. On top of that, I don’t think any author nearly approaches the way that Cornwell writes combat. It is absolutely thrilling.

The reading by Jonathan Keeble is a match made in heaven. He brings clear life to each character, and his spirited narration of Cornwell’s martial scenes is perfect. Because Uhtred narrates the story, he is always in some character, and the emotion with which he reads makes you feel as if you are truly listening to the great warlord tell his tale. I would recommend to all my friends that they listen to this audiobook, even over reading the pages themselves.

Unexpected but good

Revisado: 05-20-19

The story of Achilles told through the eyes of his companion Patroclus. It was an unexpected but beautiful and genuine love story wrapped up in myth and legend. It tells a story we all know through a new and interesting lens. The writing is great, the performer is excellent, and I really enjoyed this book.
