Acerca de esta escucha

Blood of the Mantis is the third novel in Adrian Tchaikovsky's richly imagined Shadows of the Apt series, following Dragonfly Falling. Stenwold must rally his allies for battle against the Empire, even as it seeks a dangerous artifact of enormous power.

A dread ritual casts a deadly shadow....

Achaeos the seer has finally tracked down the stolen Shadow Box. But he has only days before this magical artefact will be lost to him forever. Meanwhile, the Empire's dread forces are mustering for their next great offensive. Stenwold and his followers have only a short time to gather allies, before the enemy's soldiers march again – to conquer everything in their path. If Stenwold cannot hold them back, the hated black and gold flag will fly over every city in the Lowlands before the year's end.

Yet a more insidious threat awaits. Should the Shadow Box fall into the hands of the power-mad Emperor, nothing will save the world from his relentless ambition.

Blood of the Mantis is followed by Salute the Dark, the fourth book in the Shadows of the Apt series.

This series just gets better and better

This series just gets better and better. Such a fascinating world, and such wholly believable, completely fleshed out, complex characters! It's so rare to get BOTH of those things right. Often in sci fi and fantasy you get great characters in silly plots, or cardboard cutouts but great world-building. This author seems to be a master of it all. Really, really well done.

keeps getting better

I just all around love this book, and everything by this author. The pacing is solid, the combat is skillful, the dialogue clicks (and the narrators voices are wonderful and add such color to the story!). I've never been good at writing combat, and am extremely jealous of the author's ability, and am trying to learn from his style in that regard.

My only regret of listening via audiobook and not having a physical copy is that I feel this story almost requires a map of the world for reference. I'm beginning to realize a need to look one up online.

Great series. They all read like a seamless story and the performances minus 1 voice for me is great as well.

Great series, in spite of Stenwold

This is a pretty interesting series. Top notch. All around - story, narrators, characters, etc.

However, I absolutely despise the character Stenwold. This guy is the exact opposite of what a “spymaster” is. He thinks like a little girl. At best like a weak diplomat. I like all the bad characters far more than this character.

A weak, delusional good guy is a far greater liability than any evil character.

The story progresses in spite of this guy’s inexplicable naïveté and failure to grasp the obvious. This guy is literally the anti-“spymaster”. If this guy is your spymaster, you almost have a duty to betray him, or make him go away.

In a way though, that adds to the story. I really hope this guy doesn’t survive much longer.

Regardless, it’s a great series.
