Dear Mr. Cornwell,

I hope this message finds you well. I am writing to express my disappointment regarding the recent change of narrators in the audiobook version of “The Last Kingdom” series. While I understand that narrators may change for various reasons, I was surprised and disappointed by the significant differences between the new narrator, Matt Bates, and the previous one, Jonathan Keeble.

With Jonathan Keeble, I felt deeply connected to the characters and their journey. His narration style, accent, and character interpretations brought the story to life in a way that resonated profoundly with me. However, Matt Bates’ portrayal, although skilled, feels a million miles away from what I had grown accustomed to. The change in accent and the different characteristics he brings to the narration have made it challenging for me to stay immersed in the story.

I have greatly enjoyed your writing and have been an avid follower of “The Last Kingdom” series. The shift in narration has impacted my experience significantly, and I wanted to share this feedback with you. I hope this perspective might be taken into consideration for future decisions regarding the audiobook narrations.

Thank you for your time and for the incredible stories you continue to create.

Best regards,

Andy
