A Book of Spirits and Thieves

De: Morgan Rhodes

Narrado por: Scott Aiello

New York Times best-selling author Morgan Rhodes takes listeners into exhilarating new high-fantasy territory with A Book of Spirits and Thieves, an epic contemporary saga perfect for fans of Sarah J. Maas and Diana Gabaldon’s Outlander.

The lives of Toronto teens Crystal and Becca Hatcher revolve around helping their mother out at the family's used bookstore, The Speckled Muse. It's a relatively uneventful after-school job, until an package arrives addressed to her mother, Julia. Thinking it's nothing more than run-of-the-mill inventory, Becca opens it and removes the book inside, unwittingly triggering an ancient magic and intertwining their fates with the powers that flow from the mysterious leather-bound book. Two parallel worlds collide and Becca is left in a catatonic state after her spirit is snatched from modern-day Toronto back to the ancient world of Mytica. Crys is guilt-ridden, having witnessed the entire event, and vows to do whatever is necessary to save her...but from what? Nothing has prepared them for what’s in store.

Written in alternating perspectives that shift between modern-day Toronto and the ancient kingdoms of Mytica, Rhodes delivers a rich and suspensful series opener that will leave listeners breathless.

Reseñas de la Crítica

“A modern day Outlander filled with adventure and danger...a breathless tale that only Morgan Rhodes could tell.” (Hypable)

"...a compulsively readable, epic time-travel soap opera." (The Globe & Mail)

"Rhodes always tells a smashing story, and this is no exception. Magic and romance combine in a page-turning adventure. Can’t wait for more!" (Kelley Armstrong, number one New York Times best-selling author of the Darkest Powers series)

And then it stops........

Loved the book, great story, great narrator just captivating. Then it stops, audible like with other book series don’t have the complete series. So you get really hooked and then you can’t continue.

A new way of looking at magic and dimensions.

Where does A Book of Spirits and Thieves rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

It started a little slow but got better. I hope it is the beginning of a series.

What did you like best about this story?

It was not the usual good vs. evil yarn.

love this book very much just as good as falling k

I've got hook in this book almost just as fast as falling kingdoms. each characters grows on you. I give this book a five stars out of five. it keep you hook to the very end.

What the what?

The ending is worse than a cliffhanger—it leaves the story unfinished! It’s been five years so I won’t hold my breath that there will be a second book published to make it a series. What a bummer.

Just wow.

Wow.

Just wow.

I love love the Falling Kingdoms series but was so turned off by the premise of this book I didn't even put it on my to-read shelf. I read a review for it from a blogger I follow thought...err...I guess I'll give it a try and wwwwwwWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWiiiieeeee! it was better than I could have even conceived of, I loved it as much or more than the series it spun off of.

Buy it.
Seriously, do it.

Looking forward to the next one on AUDIBLE

Makes you want to hear the next book. Captivating. easy to visualize. Well done. Wish it was longer.

I like the fact that they were multiple pointed view of the same story just told the different eyes

I love the multiple perspectives that the book provided what I disliked the under description and certain parts of the book where I would’ve loved to know, a little bit more about a character 

great precursor to the falling kingdoms

loved the book. definitely listen to the falling kingdoms series first before this book. it will bring the falling kingdoms full circle.

Wow, romping good read!

Well actually a romping good listen! Great performance by the reader! Bravo! And the story was a very interesting twist and turn that even though full of tension, wasn’t all blood guts and evil. I liked it quite a bit! Going over to get the sequel right now! (Door slams and foot steps fade into the distance)

audible dropped the ball

The only issue I have is that audible doesn't have the second book in the series so I'm left hanging. The book is typical Morgan Rhodes. Ties into the Falling kingdom series nicely. Although I think I'd read this first and then the FK series.
