About this listen

Penguin presents the unabridged, downloadable audiobook edition of The Ballad of Sir Benfro: The Broken World, the fourth installment in the new fantasy series from J. D. Oswald, read by Wayne Forester.

Captured by the travelling circus, Benfro cannot shake their control, more powerful than Magog's malign influence.

Errol follows the trail left by his friend's captors, for only Benfro holds the key to Errol's beloved Martha's whereabouts. Without Benfro there is no hope of rescuing her. But the circus is headed for Tynhelyg and King Ballah, a place Errol does not wish to approach.

As the ancient spell that split Gwlad begins to unravel, it may be easier for Benfro and Errol to travel to Gog's world now, but what will happen when the barriers between the two worlds fail entirely?

The ballad of sir Benfro I wrongly thought was a Trilogy and then Thought was a Quadrilogy now PLEASE TELL US THAT THERE IS ANOTHER BOOK ON IT'S WAY I cannot believe that was the end with so many unanswered Questions about the other characters as well as WHAT HAPPENED NEXT this has been a thrilling thriving storyline With every emotion used to its fullest extent up to yet we are all at the edge of a precipice Mr J D Oswald. well done up to yet now please sir can we have some more thank you.

A bit more happens in this book although Errol gets knocked out so often I'm surprised he's not brain damaged! I'll be getting the last in the series, very well developed characters but I think moving them from one situation to another relies a bit too heavily on accidentally traversing the lines or getting knocked out. it would be nice if they achieved something on purpose for once.

I can't wait for the next chapters, totally caught up in The tale so far and love the narration which has brought the characters to life for me

Another great instalment

I’ve loved the complexity of these stories. Well written and with brilliant narration. Many cliffhangers, both at the end of each chapter and the conclusion of each book. So beware - if you are in any way committed to the stories, you’ll have to buy the next book. The books are satisfyingly long, which means hours of happy listening. You cannot listen if you fall asleep because inevitably you miss a crucial event. Thank you for hours of entertainment

I’m hooked!
