Reseñas de la Crítica

"Bernard Cornwell is a literary miracle. Year after year, hail, rain, snow, war and political upheavals fail to prevent him from producing the most entertaining and readable historical novels of his generation." ( Daily Mail)
"Cornwell's narration is quite masterly and supremely well-researched." ( Observer)

Back to another time

Enjoyed being taking back to medieval England. The writing is good and easy along with story.

Amazing narration, excellent story

Wow, one if the best readings I've heard. The range of distinct characters was so impressive. The story was so realistic, it really brought to life that period for me.

Dramatic History story telling

Wonderful narration. The Last Kingdom lends itself to audible story telling, dramatic and compelling listening.

Loved it !

I could not stop ... The narrator holds our attention and every action comes to life. And although the book has a slightly different story from the bbc series I'm going to buy The Pale Horseman.

Excellent in every way

Really enjoyed this well written and well narrated historical fiction about a very interesting period of British history. Well done
