Shardik – Richard Adams
Ursine avatars can be a bit tedious.
Shardik being that avatar in the religion of the native people, and more particularly, the native character that this book is about. He convinces people of this really big bear’s religious significance. This gets him a position of religious power, and what do people often do with that? Yep, want to go and do a bit of that large scale killing war stuff.
It isn’t all quite that simple though for the main guy as his attitude changes throughout.
