Overall, “Thief of Time” is a captivating addition to Terry Pratchett’s Discworld series, blending elements of fantasy, humor, and profound insights into human nature and existence.

The Time Thief audiobook is narrated by BAFTA award-winning actor Sian Clifford (Fleabag; Vanity Fair; Quiz). BAFTA and Golden Globe-winning actor Bill Nighy (LoveReality; Pirates of the Caribbean; Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows) read the footnotes and Peter Serafinowicz (Star Wars: Episode I – The Phantom Menace; Shaun of the Dead) stars as the voice of Death. Featuring a new theme tune composed by James Hannigan.

‘The universe, moment by moment, is recreated anew… The perfect time is now. Rejoice in that.”

Time is a resource. Everyone knows it has to be managed. You can let it move fast or slow, but what you can’t do is allow it to stop.

On Discworld, the Priests of History have the important task of ensuring that tomorrow always comes. But building the world’s first truly accurate watch begins a race against… time.

Monk Lu-Tze, his apprentice Lobsang Ludd and Death’s niece Susan must stop the watchmaker before he completes his task. Because a truly accurate watch stops time completely.

And then, there really will be no tomorrow…

You can listen to the Discworld novels in any order, but The Thief of Time is the fifth book in the Death series.

What if time was a living thing? Many ideas are realized in these books and they will surprise you. Four horsemen we know, but what about the fifth? I really liked Lu Tze before and this movie focuses on his story. Auditor reminds me a lot of Watcher and their ideas have been used in many different ways before. This whole story is so fun to sink your teeth into. As usual, there’s a great mix of characters both new and old. Some parts of the story prove that it’s best to read them in order, and some plot twists will be easier to understand if you’ve read the previous books. And now I turn to the only story in this group that is only available in hard copy.
