The best recasting of the legends

Although in some parts the prose is too purple and the narration overdramatic, both sparkle in the final scene. Or maybe it was the tears in my eyes.

Very interesting book, very well narrated

Loved it, what else can I say? Loved it and really enjoyed listening to it

Good book, fantastic narration

While I enjoyed the story, the narrator is the true star here. Very well done.

Perfect Voice Performance

I really enjoyed this, the Warlord Chronicles Trilogy, but especially because of Jonathan Keeble's excellent performance. He was the perfect choice for narrator, does a wonderful job with the various characters and really brought the story to life for me.

The Chronicles are a richly detailed work, which takes some time to get into and can be slightly demanding as a reader. But Cornwell, read by Keeble, subtly weaved all the many strands together making a tale that hums in the memory and makes one wish for a time that probably never existed in this particular way.

I know I'll be listening to these again.

So sad it all ended..

I wish this becomes a good movie triology.. what a tale.. awesome writing.. and super narator
