The Ballad of Smallhope and Pennyroyal by Jodi Taylor, Narrated by Zara Ramm
Audiobook Review
The Ballad of Smallhope and Pennyroyal is a brilliantly narrated, very British adventure full of mystery, humour, and fast-paced action. Jodi Taylor’s signature wit, paired with Zara Ramm’s spot-on narration, makes this audiobook an absolute treat. Whether you're a longtime Jodi Taylor fan or diving into her work for the first time, this one’s a must-listen..
Lady Amelia Smallhope and her partner, Pennyroyal, aren’t your typical bounty hunters—they prefer “recovery agents”—working for the Time Police, among others. They travel through different time periods tracking down offenders, and have a pretty thrilling time doing it.
Taylor’s knack for weaving humour into complex plots is in full swing here, making what could be a heavy story surprisingly light and fun. Every chapter has enough tension and surprises to keep you saying “just one more,” with enough twists to make you rethink what you thought you knew.
Whether you're a die-hard Jodi Taylor fan or a newcomer to her work, The Ballad of Smallhope and Pennyroyal is a perfect fit. It's a shining example of Taylor’s unique style, making it a must-read for her fans, and a great starting point for those new to her work. It’s a testament to what makes her stories so entertaining—playful, clever, and endlessly engaging.
