Incredibly creative story, a must read if you’re a fan of the genre. Especially if you love Neil Gaiman. Rich mythology that’s just vague enough to keep you intrigued. Exquisite moments of both beauty and brutality. Incredibly well developed main characters. It’s been a while since I could honestly say “I couldn’t put it down.” I give this one my highest recommendation.

LO AMÉ.

Definitivamente es mi favoritos de V. E. Schwab. Se lee super rápido, es ligero sin dejar de ser entretenido y siento que te da la información justa y necesaria, es un mundo bien creado que no llega a ser abrumador ni confuso.
