The Pawn and the Puppet: Book 1, Unabridged Audible Audiobook
Product description
Some listeners want a quick story to fit into a short break, others prefer a longer, immersive listen. The Pawn and the Puppet offers a 10-hour-and-28-minute unabridged audiobook for settling into a full-length story.
As Book 1 of Brandi Elise Szeker’s five-book series, it gives new listeners a clear starting point. Its dystopian fiction setting and New Adult romance category help signal the kind of story to expect.
Narrated by Amy Hall and Lance Greenfield, this Audible audiobook brings the story to audio in a format suited to listening at home or while going about your day.
Tips for day-to-day use
The full-length format works well when you want to follow a story over multiple listening sessions. Its total listening time gives you a practical sense of the commitment before you begin, whether you prefer longer sessions or plan to return to it in shorter stretches. Since this is the opening book in a series, starting here lets you follow the series from its first installment.
The audiobook is unabridged, so the format presents the complete book rather than an abridged version. With two credited narrators, Amy Hall and Lance Greenfield, the spoken performance is central to the listening experience. It’s a straightforward choice for readers who want this story in audio rather than print.
Benefits
The story is categorized as dystopian fiction and dystopian science fiction, with a New Adult and college romance category also associated with it. That blend makes it relevant to listeners looking for speculative fiction alongside a romance element. The series format also suits anyone who enjoys returning to a story world across multiple books.
Customer feedback highlights an engaging opening, intricate character backstories, and emotional depth. Listeners particularly mention the characters Skylenna and Dessin, the story’s dark atmosphere, and its attention to the impact of trauma. These are reader impressions rather than a promise that every listener will respond the same way, but they offer useful context if character-focused storytelling matters to you.
The listening length can also help with planning: it’s a substantial audiobook for a longer commute, a stretch of household tasks, or a series of listening sessions. You can choose the pace that fits your routine without needing to complete it all at once.
