About this listen

Penguin presents the unabridged, downloadable, audiobook edition of The Ballad of Sir Benfro: The Golden Cage, the third installment in the new fantasy series from JD Oswald, read by Wayne Forester.

Queen Beulah is determined to have her war, despatching Inquisitor Melyn north into the land of her enemies.

Battling the ever-growing influence of Magog, Benfro struggles to resist the treacherous orders of the long-dead Dragon Mage, a task made yet more difficult by the arrival of Errol in his forest refuge.

His body broken, Errol is tormented by dreams of his beloved Martha, imprisoned in a Golden Cage. He has escaped from King Ballah's torture chamber but remains powerless to help her.

Yet fate has united these two. Apart, they will surely perish, and all Gwlad with them.

I'm routing for Beulah and Klum

I frankly don't care about the Dragon's anymore and I don't think Oswald does either. Beulah and Klum are uniting a Kingdom with ease. It's actually great to hear it happen. And Klum is truly turning into an amazing leader, while Beulah has apparently found a heart!

I just don't care about a boy and a Dragon who's chief concern is defeating an already defeated dragon since Dragon's can't apparently die in this world! The way I see it, if Errol should just kill Benfro then all the problems in Gwlad would be solved. He could go and live in peace anywhere he wanted, and Magog couldn't get another body.

Then there's all this stuff about Benfro and Errol getting caught, it's pretty sad what they've become but I don't care. Long Live Beulah.

Narration is the same as the previous books. No better, no worse.

No Progress

What did you like best about The Golden Cage? What did you like least?

In this Book there is not a lot of development in the main characters. They change locations slightly but not their abilities or who personalities.

Would you be willing to try another book from J.D. Oswald? Why or why not?

Yes but but I would hope for more of a story next time.

What three words best describe Wayne Forester’s performance?

Great performance.

Did The Golden Cage inspire you to do anything?

No, unless you consider running from one disaster to another inspiring.

Hard to put down

The entire series kept me entranced. I loved it. The narration is storytelling at its best.

I keep waiting for awesome..and waiting and..

Its almost good and then we digress and the protagonists make another goofy move...you can even see where its headed. And why do the antagonists have it so easy? Like no one knows this stuff and suddenly or then they get help from...really? I just got annoyed after a while. More so because there is such potential for a great story. This is my last of this series unless I hit the "need a book bad wall" again.
