About this listen

The Dark Ages - a time of great turmoil and the collision of empires! As the Frank kingdom prepares for war, Roland, young heir to the Breton March, has been relegated to guard duty until a foreign emissary entrusts him with vital word of a new threat to the kingdom.

Now Roland must embark on a risky journey to save all he loves from swift destruction. And yet while facing down merciless enemies, he must also reveal the hand of a murderer who even now stalks the halls of power and threatens to pull apart a kingdom reborn under the greatest of medieval kings, the remarkable Charlemagne.

For Roland to become the champion his kingdom needs, he must survive war, intrigue and betrayal. The Silver Horn Echoes pays homage to La Chanson de Roland by revisiting an age of intrigue and honor, and a fateful decision in the shadows of a lonely mountain pass - Roncevaux!

I recieved a review copy of this book and was very glad as it allowed me to discover this excellent book. The story is one of classic heroism, mixing war and intrigue as Roland struggles to navigate through them. Both the writing and narration are excellent, the only minor issue is that the end of each chapter is announced "end of chapter X" which can break the immersion a little.

A heroic tale for the ages

However, I was fortunate to receive a copy of this to review. Overall I really enjoyed the story, and would definitely be interested to read more novels set in this time and/or by this author.

Personally I found the audiobook a little bit hard going, I wasn’t overall keen on the narrator. This could be purely down to my personal preference though, I seem to engage better with physical books.

A solid 3.5 out of 5, probably would have been 4 if I had read rather than listened!

Not my usual genre...
