loved the book. However, the narrator left me feeling irritated. Please read do not act!

Owen the first Tudor

Great story but such an appalling pronunciation of the Welsh language.
Surely its possible to consult a Welsh speaker for help with this.
You do well with French and Latin so why this discrimination?

Pronunciation of Welsh language!

Would you try another book written by Tony Riches or narrated by Ian Fisher?

Probably not ... the bare bones of the plot are historical and interesting, but the characterization wasn't entirely psychologically convincing. The characters were rather flat and therefore did not quite engage my emotions.

What could Tony Riches have done to make this a more enjoyable book for you?

The characters needed to be rounder for my taste.

What about Ian Fisher’s performance did you like?

Pleasant to listen to his voice and there was also variety so that it was possible to distinguish the characters.

Did Owen inspire you to do anything?

Might be nice to do some historical reading to get a sense of which plot points are historical and which are conjecture,

Any additional comments?

If you are interested in learning about the beginnings of the Tudor dynasty, this novel gives a sense of what might have happened.

Interesting Premise

Well written but read a little like a shopping list.

Interesting to hear the wars of the roses from this perspective.

Good story

struggled to stay with it at first due to narrator's voice which I found annoying drool and slow. I love reading about this period so stuck with it. hoping the next book is a different narrator.
