Critic Reviews

Praise for the Wars of the Roses series: "Superbly plotted and paced." ( The Times)
"Pacey and juicy, and packed with action." ( Sunday Times)
"It's been said that Game of Thrones is the Wars of the Roses written as fantasy: this is the real thing, more glorious, more passionate, far, far more gritty." (Manda Scott, best-selling author of Boudica)
"Energetic, competent stuff; Iggulden knows his material and his audience." ( Independent)
"A novel that seamlessly combines narrative, historical credence and great knowledge of the period." ( Daily Express)
"A page-turning thriller." ( Mail on Sunday)

Iggulden is a master and tells the astounding history of the war of the Roses brilliantly. The awesome story telling is equal only to the incredible performance of the narrator Roy McMillan, who bring the story to life with artful colour and articulation. The combination is very immersive and entertaining.

Superb all round

I was excited to see the last in this series come up on my recommendations list. I had really enjoyed the characters in particularly Derry Brewer and the other commoners who made the story more personal. This final book did not have many of those characters, which I missed. I was waiting to hear why Richard had turned on the brother he loved so much to the point he would order the murder of his nephews, I know the history of this time but was hoping Mr Iggulden would use his creative licence to shed light on this turning of a man he had portrayed as fiercely loyal throughout the story.

The narration by Mr McMillan was my other attraction to the series (and his other narrations, check out Don Quixote) and it was great.

Still worth a credit to complete the story wholly sad in the end for the characters I had come to enjoyed.

Okay but...

Overall, this historical fiction he wrote once again is an extraordinary book that people must read. Not only he was unbiased but everything he wrote with accurate references. His theories are also I found as the most coherent compared other historical fiction writers. His conclusions are the most logical and not based on an ardent judgement of particular character/characters.

I recommend to read this book and and book one to three of the wars of the Roses that also written by him.

Another extraordinary story by Iggulden

I've loved every book in this series - conn Iggulden brings medieval history to life and sits you front and square of every political argument, every battle and every treachery - I really hope he writes more about this intriguing period of history

A fantastic end to a fantastic series

Even though you know who won the battles and what happens in the end; you find yourself barracking for different characters at different times in the book.

An Excellent Series.

As an ardent fan of historical novels and historical fiction I have rarely come across writing that puts one’s mind firmly into the scenes, thinking and drama such as Conn Iggulden’s Wars of the Roses series. Beautifully read and with a depth of description and emotion that has few peers I did not want the books to end. I am writing my first historical novel and the motivation that Mr Iggulden has provided to write with such flair and feeling will be always remembered with thanks. I look forward to reading his other novels.

An experience not to be missed.
