Book description
Family isn't always about where you come from-it's about who fights to keep you.
T.J. Klune has done it again. In the Lives of Puppets isn't just another fantasy adventure-it's a raw, beating heart wrapped in metal and circuitry, told through the voices that bring this broken, beautiful world to life.
This audiobook grabs you from the first moment and doesn't let go. Victor Lawson and his makeshift family-Giovanni, the father-figure android with a haunted past; the delightfully twisted Nurse, whose idea of care involves creative threats; and the endearing little vacuum Janitor who craves nothing more than love-live hidden in the trees, surviving on the fringes of a world that would see them destroyed.
Then HAP arrives.
What unfolds is a story that cuts deep. When HAP's presence exposes their sanctuary, forcing them to flee across a desolate landscape toward the City of Electric Dreams, every mile reveals new layers of pain, loyalty, and what it truly means to be family. The narration captures every emotional beat-Vic's rage and confusion, Giovanni's quiet strength masking decades of guilt, and HAP's own struggle with his programmed nature versus his growing humanity.
Klune weaves themes of found family, acceptance, and redemption through a narrative that feels both intimate and epic. The audiobook format elevates every moment-the mechanical whir of androids, the crunch of dirt underfoot during their desperate journey, and the weight of every revelation about Giovanni's dark history hunting humans.
This isn't just a story about robots and humans-it's about the strings we all carry, and whether love is worth accepting those attachments. The voice work brings depth to each character, making their conflicts feel immediate and visceral.
In the Lives of Puppets will break your heart and weld it back together, stronger than before.
