Critic reviews

Iggulden is in a class of his own when it comes to epic, historical fiction

Superbly plotted and paced

Conn breathes new life into the darkest and most dramatic of times, with a flair for both the huge scale and human interest of it all

Exceptionally well-written and gripping

Compelling reading

A page-turning thriller

Pacey and juicy, and packed with action

I listened to this book in 3 days

I almost held my breath during the end. It is a masterpiece from the narration to the storyline

Unaccurate, but a Great listen!

Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not?

Exactly, yes and no. You get the jist of the story, but as the author tells you himself at the end, he leaves other important historical figures out and is not accurate with timings etc., and he says it is so he can keep on moving the story line ahead, but with a bit of creativity, which he is not lacking apparently, he could have made the whole series as accurate as the facts are.

What do you think your next listen will be?

Hopefully an accurate telling of the complete story, beginning to end.

Which scene was your favorite?

King Edward IV becoming the King, I could even see the man taking on the role of King... how people must have loved him.

Could you see Wars of the Roses: Bloodline being made into a movie or a TV series? Who should the stars be?

YES!!!

A master storyteller...

Iggulden once again writes a grand slam. He is a master storyteller. This series is a MUST READ , especially for historical fiction readers. Each book is better than the last! Sadly I'll be starting the final book in the series... so wish there were more...
