Acerca de esta escucha
Ombria. It is a city that echoes with the footfalls of sapphire-heeled shoes...that holds its breath as a straw-haired apparition glides through its streets...that sees its dreams-and nightmares-take shape in the drawings of a bastard-heir. It is an enchanted time and place envisioned by World Fantasy Award winner Patricia A. McKillip, acclaimed author of The Tower at Stony Wood....

The Shadow of the Torturer is the first volume in the four-volume epic, the tale of a young Severian, an apprentice to the Guild of Torturers on the world called Urth, exiled for committing the ultimate sin of his profession - showing mercy towards his victim.
Gene Wolfe's "The Book of the New Sun" is one of speculative fiction's most-honored series. In a 1998 poll, Locus Magazine rated the series behind only "The Lord of the Rings" and The Hobbit as the greatest fantasy work of all time.

In upstate New York, in the woods around Woodstock, Dutchman's Creek flows out of the Ashokan Reservoir. Steep-banked, fast-moving, it offers the promise of fine fishing, and of something more, a possibility too fantastic to be true. When Abe and Dan, two widowers who have found solace in each other's company and a shared passion for fishing, hear rumors of the Creek, and what might be found there, the remedy to both their losses, they dismiss it as just another fish story.

English magicians were once the wonder of the known world, with fairy servants at their beck and call; they could command winds, mountains, and woods. But by the early 1800s they have long since lost the ability to perform magic. They can only write long, dull papers about it, while fairy servants are nothing but a fading memory.

All McKillip's books are great
Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
Ombria in Shadow was an excellent story, narrated well and kept your interest. All McKillip's books are excellent. Some readers want more action, but action is too easy -- characters are what makes the story.
What was one of the most memorable moments of Ombria in Shadow?
The witch's coming to really love another person and care what happened to her: her waxling.
Which character – as performed by Dina Pearlman – was your favorite?
The ancient witch.
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
I enjoyed taking time to listen and think about the next evenings sitting.
Any additional comments?
Great author!

Classic McKillip
McKillip is a uniquely good author. Her books are difficult to understand at parts, even for a fan like myself. Her writing style is sheer beauty, but she can occasionally be difficult to understand.

Very fairy tale :)
This story is very much in an adult fairy tale style (not "adult" as in: porn, XXX, etc. but rather thought/scope). LOL. Similiar to "Jonathan Strange and Mr. Norrell" in style/desired effect ...but THIS author manages to pull off the delicate fairy tale atmosphere (in my opinion) without surrendering logic. The story is not quite as simple as it seems on the surface. I am going to have to go back, reread it and pay a tad bit MORE attention to a few details here and there. There is no attempt to explain how the magic works and none is needed (for the true fairy tale atmosphere) ...but there IS an underlying logic to the bones of the tale. Nice.

A beautiful word painting
Don't let the cover fool you. This book is anything but plain. Patricia McKillip paints lustrous worlds with her words and this book is no different. I highly recommend listening or reading to her works.

My Favorite McKillip Yet
Any additional comments?
I sometimes find the plots of Patricia A. McKillips books to be difficult to follow and lacking coherence, but she more than makes up for that with her wonderfully lyrical writing. She has the unique ability to paint vivid and fantastical images in your mind with her words that flow with rhythm and a living heartbeat.
This story I enjoyed thoroughly from beginning to end. It is loaded with McKillip's abstract concepts, but the story has a symmetry to it that makes it feel whole and complete in the end.

Light shines brightest within the darkest shadows.
McKillip expertly weaves stories within stories that all collect into a rich tapestry to reveal an unexpected and satisfying conclusion to her tale. McKillip is a grievously undersung wordsmith!

Beautifully read!
Patricia McKillip is magic, and the fabulous narration cinched it for me. I wasn't expecting to choose this book of McKillip's Audible selections, but Dina Pearlman's made this the winner and I'm glad it worked out that way.

Brilliant
What a book this is. A faerie tale wrapped in beautiful imagery populated by memorable characters. Be sure to listen when you can give it your full attention, you don't want to miss anything.

Intricate & Lovely Fairy Tale, Captivating Villian
This is a beautifully fleshed-out fairy tale, original, and well written. The imagery can be so detailed that sometimes I lost what events actually happened. It feels like an exciting, elaborate dream, but has a great story, and suspense. I enjoyed it thoroughly. This book is one of McKillip's best.
The reader did a very professional job. I wish her voice was richer, and more theatrical, but that's a personal preference.
