Editor's Review

AudioBook Atlas Editorial Team

As someone who enjoys a good historical romance, I was thrilled to dive into The Rum and the Fox. Philip Battley's narration is simply outstanding, bringing the characters to life with a perfect balance of emotion and pacing. His voice is engaging and easy to listen to, making the long hours fly by. Ms. Leech's storytelling is equally impressive, weaving a tale of love, loss, and redemption that kept me hooked until the very end. The relationship between Keziah and her fox-cub tamer is particularly endearing, and the author does an excellent job of exploring the complexities of their bond. My only critique would be that the ending felt a bit rushed, leaving me wanting more. However, this small issue did not detract from the overall enjoyment of the audiobook. I would highly recommend The Rum and the Fox to anyone looking for a captivating listen that combines romance and historical intrigue in equal measure.
