À propos de cet audio

The fourth book in the epic and bestselling series that has gripped millions.

A hero will be forged from this broken land.

As seen on Netflix and BBC around the world.

The year is 885, and England is at peace, divided between the Danish kingdom to the north and Alfred's kingdom of Wessex in the south. But trouble stirs, a dead man has risen and new Vikings have arrived to occupy London.

It is a dangerous time, and it falls to Uhtred, half Saxon, half Dane, a man feared and respected the length and breadth of Britain, to expel the Viking raiders and take control of London for Alfred. His uncertain loyalties must now decide England's future.

A gripping tale of love, rivalry and violence, Sword Song tells the story of England's making.

Still enjoying these. I won't go into much detail here, as I think the series really deserves to be read from the beginning. I do find myself wondering if my interest will really stretch to ten (or more?) volumes; it's basically one battle after another, with some tricky spying and scamming interspersed, but somehow it just keeps pulling me along. The main character is such a great rogue. So far, so good.

Love it

The story is fantastic. The narrator is good but wouldn't have been my first choice for this series. He has a great voice though so would still recommend listening to them and enjoying them all as much as you can.

Loved it!

I can say with mere words how much I appreciate these stories and how they come to life in the voices of Jonathan Keeble. Through his words you feel every emotion - joy, sadness, gratitude, hate kindness..... you hear the action leaping off the pages of the books. Many thanks to the author and narrator for giving us such great pleasure 🙏🏾

Phenomenal

Yet again, Bernard Cornwell paired with Jonathan Keeble made for an absolutely fantastic listening experience. This book was great, however......

My only criticism is that all future books in the series, ie 5 onwards are not narrated by Jonathan Keeble and the listening experience suffers so much for it that I reluctantly returned book 5 for a refund as I just couldn't get past the completely different reading style, completely different place names and name pronunciations for the characters and the far too softly spoken narrator that is at odd's with Keeble's exciting and vivid way of bringing the book to life.

So to sum up, books 1 to 4 were wonderful. Book 5 was a no go for me personally. The story itself is fine but there has been too much character and location development with Keeble for this complete change in everything to work for me.

I live in hope that Keeble finishes the series one day, and if not, I'll probably buy hard copies and read them for myself.

Extremely enjoyable, but!

This captivating story is made even better due to the narrator. I am very disappointed with the length of the books in this series. It’s more like 15 linearly written short stories of a group of characters. I’m not sure I’ll make it too the end of the series because of that.

Love the story and narrative

Find these books gripping as the whole saga has been. Differs quite from actual Utred but the characters events seem to be somewhat realistic. But so what Bernard C is an artist at his craft. Can’t wait to dive into the next. Hats off to the narrator. There are some good ones out there but this guy is a storyteller above the bar. Exceptional

Read the books watched the TV show but still…..

This is book four. If you start from the first book The Last Kingdom, Then listen to book two and three , then listen to this book book four. Best historical fiction I’ve ever listen too. Year 857 , Post Roman occupation so very entertaining. Highly recommended. But start with book one The Last Kingdom

Incredible Historical Fiction

I loved reading Sword Song, the fourth book in The Last Kingdom series by Bernard Cornwell. It was one of the best books I have ever read. The author does a great job of bringing the historical period to life with vivid descriptions of battles, landscapes and characters. Uhtred is a compelling protagonist who struggles with his identity as a Saxon who was raised by Danes. He is brave, cunning and loyal, but also flawed and conflicted. The plot is fast-paced and full of twists and turns. The book also explores themes such as religion, politics, family and honor. I was hooked from the first page to the last and I couldn’t put it down. I would recommend this book to anyone who likes historical fiction, especially fans of Vikings and Anglo-Saxon history. This book is a masterpiece and I can’t wait to read the next one in the series.

I also want to praise the narrator, Jonathan Keeble, who did an amazing job of bringing the characters and the story to life. He has a clear and expressive voice that captures the emotions and personalities of each character. He also switches between different accents and tones with ease and skill. He made me feel like I was listening to a real person telling me his story, not just reading a book. He is one of the best narrators I have ever heard.

Amazing story and Narrator

Narrator makes this pretty unlistenable. Names pronounced wrong, changes his accent and tone thruout. Please please please release another narrator as this story is awesome
