Jack whyte audiobook

I am now going back to the books after my father's death and enjoying the first story with immense gratitude. I can only tell you, it will be hard to not to stop wanting more.

What did you love best about The Skystone? I didn't want to hear just another Arthur story. This is a Roman to Britain transitional story. I very much enjoyed the flow of the story. I enjoyed the historical detail. When places and buildings are described I recognized them from accounts of archeological diggings. What did you like best about this story? The flow and it's ties to historical accounts and legends. How does this one compare? I love Kevin's performance. All of his performances are his best!

I like Historical Fiction and I hate History texts. This book can not decide what it wants to be. It has some interesting characters and some interesting stories, but it is mostly lectures. It is long detailed descriptions of Roman Warfare. What they wore, full descriptions of most of the weapons they used and how they used them. A lot on tactics, etc. There are lectures on Smithing.

There is even lectures on slavery. These lectures often add little to the story. It is a real shame, because when Jack is not lecturing, his well developed characters are doing interesting things. I quickly got into the story and found myself sitting in my car or driving around the block one more time to hear what happened next.

It was like reading a book you couldn't put down. The detail in the first person narration painted a graphic detailed story that I found fascinating from the first chapter. This book is billed as a prequel to the legends of King Arthur, and there are references at the end of the book that refer to parts of the legend of the Lady of the Lake and the sword in the stone, but this is an extremely minor aspect of the story.

The author and narrator do a great job of creating believable people with complex lives and relationships in their own times - no fairy tale view of the past. Add to Cart failed.
