About this listen

Young men who grow without the firm hand of a father can often become wild.

James of Ecclestone is one such youth and when he runs away to become a billman fighting the Yorkist pretender, Lambert Simnel, he begins a journey that will shape him from a youth to a man, a wild child to a Tudor warrior.

Set against the backdrop of the early years of King Henry VII’s reign, this fast-moving novel takes us from the Battle of Bramham Moor to the siege of Boulogne. Beginning with the battle of Bosworth field and ending with the Skirmish of Glastonbury Tor, we see an England changing from Yorkist to Lancastrian and James of Ecclestone becoming a warrior of renown.

Interesting liaten

I really liked this, what I would call a gap filler, as a free book I really liked it and would buy another one in this series! A believable plot and well written.

Good story let down by mispronunciations

Enjoyed the story and the narration is pretty good but is let down by several distracting mispronunciations. Sound track needs better editing. Some that annoyed me -
disconsolately was pronounced as dis-console-ately
pursuivant was pronounced as pursuiviant
impugned was pronounced as impunged
largesse was pronounced as larjeese
Tyburn was pronounced as Tibburn

Great story

I loved the story I'm a history fan, but the narration just didn't do it for me, the other books I listened too had me hooked straight away great narrator's but I kept stopping with this one. I'll stick with the others but won't bother with this.

Just didn’t click for me

This tale of a young man finding friends and meaning as a soldier was perfectly fine but just didn’t do for me. None of the characters really grabbed me and the narration felt quite one-note. There were also too many wrongly pronounced words to ignore.

really interesting

something completely different and I really enjoyed it. Great story and an insight into tutor life and war. accents a bit suspect at times, Sharp and Rene come to mind, but it didn't spoil it.

Calming to listen to but enthralling when you pay attention.

So I decided to give the a go as my pre sleep listen as it was free and I am a bit of a Tudor nerd. The reader strikes a lovely balance of keen delivery while relaxing the listener. Tie that in with a historically accurate story and likeable characters, it’s a winner for me!

Metronome in the form of a book.

A consistent words per minute with intonation slightly off throughout. I feel for the narrator, his strength lies more where characters and personalities are not a thing. That said, the existence of characters wity personality are significantly lacking in this flat book, so maybe it matched his CV.

The narration aside, it was a relaxing beat to drift off to sleep to, but gripping the story is not. It seems to cross time and space I exected to meet Major Major Major. The concept is good, but at times it felt like the author had sparks of energy, throwing in a few words too many in the style expected of sentence structure of the time - then I guess the coffee shop door closed and we go back to normal narrative. it certainly wasn't a jazz cafe.

Could have been good, but I'll stick to Cornwell
