Este primer libro ha sido muy bueno aunque creo que ha empezado a tener más ritmo hacia la mitad cuando la trama ha empezado a coger fuerza y ha terminado de una manera increíble. Muy recomendable.

I don't know how to explain how surprised I was while reading this book and got the first "revelation" (it's merely a glimpse but you know what I mean). I admit it was me because I hadn't found out what I was reading about, but I was so shocked when then things started to happen and suddenly this book wasn't what I thought it would be at all. I'm so excited to continue

Buen principio de saga, buena mezcla de fantasía y chungo con un personaje muy ambiguo como es Elinor y unos personajes femeninos muyyyy interesantes.
Qué ganas de seguir 👀

Primer llibre de la saga Blackwater, és bàsicament una presentació de la situació, però és molt interessant i atrapa des de les primeres pàgines!
