Adira ao LibraryThing para descobrir se irá gostar deste livro. Ainda não há conversas na Discussão sobre este livro. Solid fantasy with intriguing characters that I came to love, and bemoan. The author does an excellent job of world-building, and of limiting the introspection of the protagonist to keep the plot moving forward. For 600 pages I was never bored, distracted. ( ) Enjoyable - a girl is torn between her tribe and those that she'd been born into but has no experience of. Instead of insects this is actually a similar style to the Apt wars but with shapechangers - mostly mammals but again Adrian displays his ignorance of biology. You just have to accept this is how it's going to be without getting too caught up on the inconsistencies. I'm not the target audience for this book, reading it for SF&F book group. The early Iron Age North American tribal setting makes a nice change from faux-Mediaeval Europe, but where were story and characterisation? Shapeshift - fight- run, shapeshift - fight - run - ad infinitum, ad nauseam. There might be a decent 280-page novel to be chiseled out of this 500-odd page tome, but I skimmed a lot. sem críticas | adicionar uma crítica

In the bleak northern crown of the world, war is coming. Maniye's father is the Wolf clan's chieftain, but she's an outcast. Her mother was queen of the Tiger and these tribes have been enemies for generations. Maniye also hides a deadly secret. All can shift into their clan's animal form, but Maniye can take on tiger and wolf shapes. She refuses to disown half her soul, so escapes, rescuing a prisoner of the Wolf clan in the process. The killer Broken Axe is set on their trail, to drag them back for retribution. Maniye's father plots to rule the north, and controlling his daughter is crucial to his schemes. However, other tribes also prepare for strife. Strangers from the far south appear too, seeking allies in their own conflict. It's a season for omens as priests foresee danger, and a darkness falling across the land. Some say a great war is coming, overshadowing even Wolf ambitions. A time of testing and broken laws is near, but what spark will set the world ablaze? Não foram encontradas descrições de bibliotecas. |
