À propos de cet audio

 A tour-de-force novel set in ancient Japan filled with passion, fantasy, and feuding warlords. The first volume in the highly anticipated Tales of the Otori trilogy.

Sixteen-year-old Takeo's village has been massacred by an evil warlord, and he is about to be slain by the men who murdered his parents and neighbors. At the last moment, his life is saved by a nobleman, who claims the boy as his kin and begins his education.

But nothing is as it seems. Takeo discovers that he has rare powers that are useful to those around him. As he grows into manhood, he must decide where his loyalties lie: with his noble master and adoptive father; with the Hidden, a secret, spiritual sect whose beliefs are forbidden; or with the Tribe, the assassins and spies who consider him one of their own.

A story of treachery, political intrigue, and the intensity of first love, set in a world ruled by formal ritual and codes of honor, Across the Nighingale Floor crosses genres, generations, and genders to captivate fans of all ages.

Ce que les critiques en disent

"The novel fills a unique niche that is at once period piece and fantasy novel." (Amazon.com)

An epic journey through Edo Period Japan. Some history as well as fantasy is incorporated well into the series. The detail and description is so immersive, you feel connected to the characters and feel their pain when something tragic happens or their joy when something wonderful happens. You feel like you are actually there walking along side the characters and watching as the villagers bow courteously to the Otori Lords.

There is a love story entwined within the series that pulls at your heartstrings. Hopelessly rooting for the characters to be together after everything they have endured. It's charactized as a destined encounter that shapes their lives and interferes with it all at once. The passion and fast beating hearts is well described and appears deeply beautiful.

The voices who read the audiobooks are relaxing and descriptive. Often changing tone to reflect a gentle child, or the calm voice of an old man, even a stern voice of a cruel warrior. Their voices vastly increase the immersion and I feel completely absorbed into the series. These are my favourite books of all time and the first time I have listened to them on audio. I'm hooked and can't put it down!
