Due to a chronic illness I have been reading your books through audiobooks. I just read a message that Jamie Glover was the voice of Uhtred. I want to sound out Tom Selwood’s reading of Uhtred. He pitched it perfect and I was disappointed when he was changed on the third book. Richard Armytage was good. Stephen Perring was OK. Paul Blake did a terrible reading. He made Uhtred sound like a petulant brat ! Tim Piggot-Smith is an impressive reader (reading Arthur stories).
We know thus far that Uhtred is going to live into his 80’s. My impression is that this is your way of arcing the story so we can get into the great battle of Brunanburgh which Michael Wood (in Search of the Dark Ages) reckons was fought in South Yorkshire which is where I’m from.So if you are going to write about this please place the battle there !
Keep up the good work and I look forward to Uhtred showing all those southerners how to fight !
