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.

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.

Great story

An interesting story based upon accepted history, most of which I had a vague knowledge of, viewed through the eyes of a tearaway youth in his development as a soldier and his subsequent career with his brothers in arms. Let down by some dreadful mispronunciations, which really should have been picked up on by any half competent director or editor, and corrected.

Impunged? Pursuviant? Boo-long?

This is a good story with interesting characters. I’m sad that so many words were able to jar the tale because of the mispronunciation!

Oh dear, why didn’t someone check pronunciations!?

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

Good story let down by mispronunciations

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.

Just didn’t click for me
