First, I would like to thank the author for providing me with a review copy of this audiobook in exchange for an honest review.
The Thief’s Keeper is a full-length prequel in the Enemy’s Keeper historical fantasy series by Kyrie Wang. A reimagining of history, The Thief’s Keeperbrings civilizations together on English soil, including Normans, Celts, and Norsemen in AD 1070. Kyrie Wang’s world-building shines, demonstrating a high level of research without losing the story to excessive detail. With each challenge the teenagers face, their bond strengthens. The book touches on poverty, intolerance, and prejudice while maintaining themes of hope, loyalty, and love.
The narrators, Michael Hajiantonis and Kiera Rhodes, are both versatile, performing different accents flawlessly. Kiera Rhodes’s voice for Aliwyn’s dialogue was a bit more childlike than I would have imagined, but otherwise, both narrators gave a fantastic performance, and the sound production was excellent.
The Thief’s Keeper builds a strong foundation for the Enemy’s Keeper series, full of adventure and triumph, and I am looking forward to reading Healer’s Blade.
