À propos de cet audio

In the bleak northern crown of the world, war is coming. The first in the Echoes of the Fall series, The Tiger and the Wolf is an epic fantasy novel by Adrian Tchaikovsky.

‘Addictively brilliant’ – John Gwynne, author of Malice

Maniye hides a deadly secret. Her father is the chieftan of the Wolf clan, whose members can shift into wolves. Her mother was the queen of the Tiger clan, whose members can take the form of a tiger. Maniye can become both.

These tribes have been enemies for generations, and Maniye is an outcast. Refusing to disown half her soul, she escapes – rescuing a prisoner of her father's clan in the process. Broken Axe, a killer, is set on their trail to drag them back to retribution. Her father plots to rule the north, and controlling Maniye is crucial to his scheme . . .

Across the land, other tribes prepare for strife. Strangers from the far south appear, seeking allies in their own conflict. Priests foresee danger, predicting a darkness shall fall across the land. Some say a great war is coming, overcoming even Wolf ambitions. What will be the spark to set the world ablaze?

‘One of the most interesting and accomplished writers in speculative fiction’ – Christopher Paolini, author of To Sleep in a Sea of Stars

Winner of the British Fantasy Award for Best Fantasy Novel.

The series is narrated by Kyla Garcia.

Continue this sweeping coming-of-age fantasy with The Bear and the Serpent.

This guy can write a good fantasy novel. I recommend these books to my friends.

Totally worth it.

I liked a number of things about this book: the idea of people literally transforming into animal totems was quite unique and was handled well. The main tribes of the wolves and the tigers are presented clearly and you can understand most characters' motivations depending on which tribe they come from. The main characters are well-defined and stay true to their intentions, with Maniye, the main character being the most deeply defined and described. She is a "mixed" race person with two totems - one wolf and one tiger. Since these are traditional enemies she is torn between these 2 worlds and her two "souls" are constantly fighting for supremacy within her.. The story has lots of action and tension (sometimes almost too much) and tracks her escape from her father's wolf clan and the many perils and adventures she encounters along her search for freedom. Often her path is crowded with unexpected twists and turns. The action starts quickly and rarely lets up but the plot is very involving and I found it hard to stop listening at times.

I have 1 small criticism with the story. Too often in fantasy stories there is a pattern where the hero's plans always work out very neatly and, even though things get tense, there is very little doubt that the hero will succeed. This book is almost the opposite of that pattern. Almost nothing that Maniye tries ever works out or ever for any lasting result. That happens regularly and without fail and you begin to wonder and worry if she is ever going to survive. But as she journeys further and encounters more characters and people very different from the wolf clan she grew up with, she gains experience and starts to understand the harsh world around her.

One other small criticism would be the narration. The narrator generally does a good job, but she sometimes has a hard time with the voices of male characters who are supposed to be very large and very tough individuals. The voices of all the characters are usually easy to distinguish but there are a few spots where you may wonder "who said that?"

Overall, this is a very good story and has some very unique features you may not find in other fantasy novels. I recommend it.

A strong story with good action and suspense!

That is kind of story you can see the end in the middle of it but still well written and entertaining.
Narration is very good, very clear and connecting. Sometimes reader is trying to imitate accent or have their own and, as I'm an ESL person, I have hard time following. Not the case here.

Good story but predictable.
