About this listen
Brought to you by Penguin.
The epic first instalment in the thrilling War of the Roses series, perfect for fans of Game of Thrones, Bernard Cornwell and Wolf Hall.
King Henry V - the great Lion of England - is dead.
It's up to his son to take the throne, but frail in body and mind, he is dependent on his supporters to run his kingdom.
Richard, Duke of York, believes that without a strong king England will fall.
And as the threat from France grows, and rebellion on home soil spreads, his fears seem justified.
Who can save the throne?
Who will defend the kingdom?

A well executed set up.
Great writing, exceptional narration (one of the best, if not * the*best, I have come across) and beautifully developed characters.

another great series from Iggulden
I have read his other series and therefore had to listen also to this one. It is not as good as the Genghis books, but for me this is a very high standard. I had difficulty deciding if I should give 4 or 5 stars, I would say four and a half. Its a complicated subject with many Edwards and Richards and battles back and forth. the series gets better book by book. I hope Conn makes another series.

this is a very good story
I really enjoyed this book. It was very well read, the narrator uses various voice and intonations to bring through book to life. I thought it was very well done.

An amazing setup
It is the best set up I could ask for a captivating story. It makes you want to not take off your earbuds

Superb - really enjoyable
Having loved some but not all of the author's series I gave Stormbird a go without reading any reviews or any synopsis of the book.
I was definitely not disappointed with the story or the narrator, I can't wait for the next in the series!

Wonderful read and would read again.
Any additional comments?
I have not read one of his books before but this book intrigued me from beginning to end. I look forward to reading the next book of the series. This book has enough historical information mixed with fiction that it gives an almost true account of that time. If this period interests you, then you will enjoy this book.
