THIEF'S MAGIC Millennium's Rule

Narrators Grant Cartwright and Hannah Norris establish very different voices for the two distinct stories that unfold in the first book of the Millennium's Rule trilogy. Cartwright has a slight Australian accent, and his youthful, slightly breathless delivery suits the action-packed story of Tyen, a young archaeology student in a world where magic is running out. Running parallel to Tyen's story is that of Rielle, a teenager in a land where using magic is to "steal from the Angels" and anyone who does so must be banished. Norris creates a much quieter atmosphere for these chapters while still making it clear that Rielle's plight is every bit as desperate as Tyen's. Again, the narrative voice sounds Australian, but Norris gives a Middle Eastern lilt to Rielle and those around her. Both story and narration will keep the listener engaged and keen for the next installment. C.A.T. © AudioFile 2014, Portland, Maine [Published: JUNE 2014]
