Spiderlight

A fantasy adventure where a dark lord waits and good may not triumph - from the multiple-award winner Adrian Tchaikovsky

De: Adrian Tchaikovsky

Narrado por: Adrian Tchaikovsky

Spiderlight is an exhilarating fantasy quest from Adrian Tchaikovsky, the author of Children of Time, Guns at Dawn and the Shadows of the Apt series.

The Church of Armes of the Light has battled the forces of Darkness for as long as anyone can remember. The great prophecy has foretold that a band of misfits, led by a high priestess will defeat the Dark Lord Darvezian, armed with their wits, the blessing of the Light and an artifact stolen from the merciless Spider Queen.

Their journey will be long, hard and fraught with danger. Allies will become enemies; enemies will become allies. And the Dark Lord will be waiting, always waiting . . .

Reseñas de la Crítica

<i>Spiderlight </i>is a creepy-crawly treat from the master of non-human heroes, a joy from beginning to end (Paul Cornell, author of Witches of Lychford and The Severed Streets)

Tchaikovsky gives us sympathetic characters, real moral dilemmas, and emotional depth, all shot through with a sly humor that kept me grinning throughout<b> </b> (Django Wexler, author of How to Become the Dark Lord and Die Trying)

<i>Spiderlight</i> is a timeless adventure cranked up for the modern era of readers . . . Adrian Tchaikovsky has struck another literary goldmine that&rsquo;s perfect for readers to dive into. Gripping and highly recommended (Jeremy Szal)

<i>Spiderlight</i> is a rip-roaring, old-fashioned heroic fantasy romp that also messes playfully with some of the genre&rsquo;s more outdated conventions&hellip; a breathless rush that never outstays its welcome

<i>Spiderlight</i> will take you on a ride directly through straight fantasy and into the realms of the really fantastic . . . a brilliantly original novel

A must-read for all fans of fantasy. Very highly recommended

In a world of large epic fantasy series with mushy pacing and a lack of focus, <i>Spiderlight</i> is as sharp as a spider&rsquo;s fang, as tight as its webbing and as multifaceted as its gaze

Tchaikovsky pokes gentle fun at some classic tropes and deftly uses others in a way that shows his deep love for and broad knowledge of the genre

A novel about the lies we tell ourselves about what it means to be good, a story about monsters, a story about learning to be better. (It also has a great sense of humour. And spiders.)

<i>Spiderlight</i> is a great fantasy read from one of the UK&rsquo;s growing creators of world-class genre storytelling
