Acerca de esta escucha

In the bleak northern crown of the world, war is coming. The first in the Echoes of the Fall series, The Tiger and the Wolf is an epic fantasy novel by Adrian Tchaikovsky.

‘Addictively brilliant’ – John Gwynne, author of
Malice

Maniye hides a deadly secret. Her father is the chieftan of the Wolf clan, whose members can shift into wolves. Her mother was the queen of the Tiger clan, whose members can take the form of a tiger. Maniye can become both.

These tribes have been enemies for generations, and Maniye is an outcast. Refusing to disown half her soul, she escapes – rescuing a prisoner of her father's clan in the process. Broken Axe, a killer, is set on their trail to drag them back to retribution. Her father plots to rule the north, and controlling Maniye is crucial to his scheme . . .

Across the land, other tribes prepare for strife. Strangers from the far south appear, seeking allies in their own conflict. Priests foresee danger, predicting a darkness shall fall across the land. Some say a great war is coming, overcoming even Wolf ambitions. What will be the spark to set the world ablaze?

‘One of the most interesting and accomplished writers in speculative fiction’ – Christopher Paolini, author of To Sleep in a Sea of Stars

Winner of the British Fantasy Award for Best Fantasy Novel.

The series is narrated by Kyla Garcia.

Continue this sweeping coming-of-age fantasy with The Bear and the Serpent.

Interesting world idea but the characters so very 1 dimensional and idiotic. Ppl are way more complex.

Very simplified characters

Typical of the Tchaikovsky books I’ve read, I was lost at first and didn’t care about the characters. But that seems to be his pace. Now I’m somewhat interested in the story’s continuation, except I don’t like the narrator. Her whiny treatment of some females is annoying as is her ultra treatment of some males.

Long lead in before I cared

the performance is fine story took a bit longer than I expected to, kept lookingat the time spent. But, I will say wonderful setting, I love the iron age feel,

hold on, don't hit me.

Plot and character development were well done. Can’t wait for the sequel. Is this 15 words yet?

Great pacing

as the review title says the book was okay. Nothing particularly bad with it it jumps around a bit but overall okay. It was a bit hard to finish as the end was getting too predictable. But honestly had nothing else to read. The book wasn't bad just nothing to extraordinary or memorable would not recommend it to anybody but if you don't have anything else to read it's okay.

not bad just not that great

it was very long and arduous but the final confrontation was well worth the journey

I loved Maniye as a character and identified with her struggle

I loved Adrian Tchaikovsky’s Children of Time and had high hopes for The tiger and the Wolf. Sadly, I did not think this novel had the depth nor the imagination of the earlier book.

The novel seems heavily based on Native American lore. Tchaikovsky’s characters have the capacity to “step” from human to animal (totem) form and back. This ability drives the plot of The Tiger and the Wolf.

As the story unfolded, I sensed it was taking place at some time in the distant past, well before Europeans had contact with native Americans. The lines between the worlds of flesh, spirit, and magic are blurred which is also vital to the plot.

None of the above bothered me, although listening, it took me some time to sort out which character was which. Moreover, I was bothered by the narration. This book would have been much better in audio with two narrators, one male, the other female.

Kayla Garcia’s voice was consistently feminine, and at times juvenile. This didn’t work when she tried to voice male characters. They all sounded silly, like what they were: a high-voiced woman trying to sound like a man. Additionally, Ms. Garcia’s interpretation of the characters’ manner of speech sounds like an old Hollywood cliche of an “Indian” talking. (Think Tonto saying, How?, to the Lone Ranger).

As usual, the author deals with contemporary issues. In this novel it is the concept of being biracial (bi-species/totem) as well as the relationships between all of the species/tribes that creates conflict. Sadly, the good guys and bad guys were all one dimensional. Even the character “surprises”, there were a few, were easily foreseeable.

All in all, the story of Tiger and the Wolf was very predictable. Perhaps this is to set the scene for the subsequent books? The problem for me is that the fantasy genre can so easily become formulaic. What I loved most about Children of Time was that, although I could figure out where it was going, it was wonderfully imaginative. In it Tchaikovsky seamlessly wove his story with higher philosophical questions. This time The author borrows from Native American tradition but the plot is too simple, the characters are flat, and the conflict is trite.

this book was incredible start to finish the characters were so very flushed out and developed people, I very quickly got the sense that I'd known them for a long time, the Mystikal elements and mysterys of this world are fascinating and fun, the way the cultures and beliefs of the different groups interact and clash are also really interesting and fun. 10/10 would recommend

it's like Game of Thrones but way less disgusting!

There were lots of moments where I didn't want to put it down, but also long stretches where nothing happened of importance. Also way too much internal struggle, and the fight scenes we're lost on me. I just wish all of those things were in better balance. It wasn't bad, but not a favorite. I'm still debating whether or not to read the second one.

it was ok.
