Pero es que por otro lado tampoco creo que la historia y los personajes fueran tan interesantes. El grupo está compuesto del protagonista inútil pero que al final triunfa, la chica que está para ser el interés amoroso y el tipo grande, fuerte y estoico. Cada vez que aparecía un personaje más interesante (como Thokk o Yazad), tenía un peso poco relevante en la trama. (view spoiler)
En cuanto a la historia, el tema de los vikingos es que no me importaba mucho. Colocar a un grupo de "invasores" como enemigos, pero de los que no sabemos nada, pues no sé, me parece raro en Sanderson. Es un recurso un poco vago. Y en general el final no me ha parecido que diera los frutos que se iban sembrando durante la historia. No sé, si tienes que empezar la última pelea, la que debería tener una gran carga emocional y culminar la evolución del prota, explicando cosas del contexto... a mí ya me has perdido.
Aún así había ideas que molaban en esta historia. La cifi, Logna, la idea de los concursos multidimensionales y las partes humorísiticas (Sir Runian von Internet, ¡yo te Nintendo!). Una de las mejores cosas, y que ha hecho que no me diera pereza avanzar con el libro, ha sido la increíble interpretación de Francesc Belda (que también disfruté muchísimo en Trenza del Mar Esmeralda) y de Belén Roca.
Pero no sé, en general me ha aburrido.

Cursing infrequent, includes such words as "he**" and "hot d***", plus one "arse" and 2 occurrences in another language. Also a few invented curses.Romantic content:
