De: Adrian Tchaikovsky

Narrado por: Kyla Garcia

As the south is in turmoil, an old terror emerges in the north. The Bear and the Serpent is the second book in Adrian Tchaikovsky’s epic fantasy trilogy, Echoes of the Fall, following The Tiger and the Wolf.

‘A classically brilliant fantasy writer’ – Paul Cornell, author of Witches of Lychford

Maniye, child of both Wolf and Tiger clans, has been named Champion of her people. But they're unsure if she is an asset – or a threat. To buy time, she joins a warband of outcasts and heads south. She wants to discover her true place in the world, but finds herself heading into the jaws of a fierce new conflict.

The group are led by Prince Tecuman, battling his twin sister for the throne. Only one can rule, and the threat of civil war hangs overhead. Yet, whoever triumphs will carry a heavy burden. A great doom has been foreseen, set to fall across their whole world. Soon, Maniye finds herself at the heart of a political storm.

Danger is casting a shadow over her old home too, where Loud Thunder and his Bear clan are attempting to unite the northern tribes. An ancient adversary is preparing to strike, putting not only their lands but their very souls at risk. It may be the only thing to end tribal rivalries; neither north nor south will be spared in the terror to come . . .

Reseñas de la Crítica

A classically brilliant fantasy writer, a pusher of boundaries, <b>a great storyteller</b> (Paul Cornell, author of Witches of Lychford)

One of the <b>most interesting and accomplished writers</b> in speculative fiction (Christopher Paolini, author of Eragon and To Sleep in a Sea of Stars)

It&#39;s addictively brilliant! The protagonist is vivid and sympathetic - and I love both the story and the world Adrian has created. It&#39;s <b>meticulously thought out and utterly believable</b> (John Gwynne, author of Shadow of the Gods, on The Tiger and the Wolf)

Equally deft in the realms of science fiction and fantasy adventure<b>, Adrian Tchaikovsky knows how to take you to a place,</b> no matter the setting (SciFiNow on The Tiger and the Wolf)

<b>A joy from start to finish.</b> Entertaining, smart, surprising and unexpectedly human (Patrick Ness, author of The Knife of Never Letting Go, on Children of Time)

amazing!

these books are an absolute Joy it's Game of Thrones with raptors fighting tigers fighting crocodiles fighting Sabertooth honey badgers

A satisfying sequel

A continuation of a great story and great world building, brought to life by a solid preformance.

story is interesting but slow, naration abysmal

I loved children of time and guns of dawn. was excited to start a series from a favored author. but this project feels amateurish. perhaps it was a stepping stone in the path to future greatness. narrater can read well enough but doesnt do much in the way of performance. and she just sounds down right silly when she tries to do men's voices.
