The Hungry Gods

De: Adrian Tchaikovsky

Narrado por: Emma Newman

The Gods have returned to the world.

Amri was a Rabbit, one of a tribe of survivors scratching out an existence in the blasted landscape of a shattered, poisoned world. The Seagull fight, the Pigeon trade and the Cockroach scavenge, but the Rabbit had one rule: If you want to see tomorrow, you run.

But they didn't run fast enough when a weapon fell from the sky and consumed their home, and now Amri is alone, in the company of a fallen god named Guy Vesten. A god who promises revenge against the three gods who turned against him, and who killed her tribe.

But gods don't die easily. Guy will need followers, like any god, and warriors to aid him in his quest. And if Amri is to find a place in the world that is to come, she may as well be standing at his right hand, as his priestess....

Interesting story, let down by narration

The story is engaging and enjoyable. The narration is too quiet, unclear and lacked interest . My enjoyment and willingness to listen to the whole story was hampered by my reaction to the narrator. Check the sample before you buy it.

love the ending!

the slow build of learning to overcome bigotry was great, but the end was the best! Not as intricate as Tchaikovsky usually is, but a delicious and timely fable.

poor quality recording. unintelligible during parts of second hslf

loved this one

I love Adrian Tchiakovsky books already and thought this was above average, even for him

Tchaikovsky fan

I mean, im a Tchaikovsky fan so I listen to all his stuff. This one was good, Elder Race is another short story, also excellent.

One of his best!

For such a small book, this packs quite a punch! His ability to characterize human foibles is unsurpassed as always. The narrator brought it all alive- what a sincere voice-perfect relative to the ending. “Pride goes before the fall”. I’ll be listening to this one again.

Ehhh... It's ok.

I can't form an opinion on this book and I think that's more of an indictment than anything. I really looked forward to this book and it's my first Tchaikovsky so I wanted to like this book; especially as I've heard so many great things about Tchaikovsky's work. I think I can say, it's a technically-well written story. I just kept thinking to myself, "so?" I couldn't form a connection with the characters and honestly couldn't care one way or the other if and when something happened to them. There were a couple of things that happened that had no impact on the plot and left me wondering why this was written. Thankfully this was short, so I pushed through. Had this been a normal sized novel, I may have not finished. As it was a short book, and I did in fact finish it, when I think back to it, I have to wonder if I liked it or not... and I can't honestly answer. The premise is interesting--rereading the blurb, I want to read this book and I feel like this is something I'd be in to but I can honestly say I may forget everything about this book in a few months. I also feel like maybe the narrator wasn't the best? She was... fine. But I have to wonder if there was a different narrator, would I have liked it more? I don't know. Maybe I'm just disappointed that I didn't love it?
