Good listen

I enjoyed listening to this book and would recommend to anyone who likes historical fiction

A well executed set up.

Great writing, exceptional narration (one of the best, if not * the*best, I have come across) and beautifully developed characters.

another great series from Iggulden

I have read his other series and therefore had to listen also to this one. It is not as good as the Genghis books, but for me this is a very high standard. I had difficulty deciding if I should give 4 or 5 stars, I would say four and a half. Its a complicated subject with many Edwards and Richards and battles back and forth. the series gets better book by book. I hope Conn makes another series.

this is a very good story

I really enjoyed this book. It was very well read, the narrator uses various voice and intonations to bring through book to life. I thought it was very well done.

An amazing setup

It is the best set up I could ask for a captivating story. It makes you want to not take off your earbuds

Superb - really enjoyable

Having loved some but not all of the author's series I gave Stormbird a go without reading any reviews or any synopsis of the book.

I was definitely not disappointed with the story or the narrator, I can't wait for the next in the series!

Wonderful read and would read again.

Any additional comments?

I have not read one of his books before but this book intrigued me from beginning to end. I look forward to reading the next book of the series. This book has enough historical information mixed with fiction that it gives an almost true account of that time. If this period interests you, then you will enjoy this book.

Strong historical narrative

Blew through this audio book in no time. If you like medieval battles and political intrigue, i would recommend it.
