Among Thieves: A Tale of the Kin, Book 1 Audible Audiobook Unabridged Douglas Hulick(Author), Kirby Heyborne(Narrator), Tantor Audio(Publisher)& 0more 4.3 out of 5 stars309 ratings See all formats and editions Sorry, there was a problem loading this page. Sure he’s honorable and clever and his loyalty to the Kin is admirable, but I fail to see how the existence of a bunch of criminals is something worth fighting for.Ī well-written story, but not my cup of tea. It doesn’t help either that Drothe isn’t easy character to relate to. So the story that started as interesting unfortunately became annoying and then frustrating for me. Now I like to be kept guessing when reading a novel, but I don’t like to be completely in the dark. Drothe couldn’t make heads or tails of it, and neither could I. You notice that I use a lot of synonyms for “mysterious”. In between you also get fencing scenes where Drothe has to face life or death situations. As Drothe investigates these clues, even stranger things happen, with a mystifying book, perplexing attempted murders, shadowy Grey Princes, an odd falsified letter, magical items. The story starts with a missing artifact, with mysterious clues that include an enigmatic name, a cryptic script that may or may not be a code, and a puzzling rare pilgrim token. This time the main character Drothe is a Nose, which is some kind of an informant for crimelords in a community of thieves called the Kin. After reading some fantasy series where the protagonists are thieves or characters other than farmboys or nobility and quite enjoying them, I turned next to Among Thieves.
