Digo casi instantaneo porque cuando me di cuenta que el libro no iba a ser estratagemas, reuniones tácticas, ataques y contrataques (como pensé por la reseña en la contraportada) tuve la tentación de poner en pausa mi lectura y buscar otro libro. Pero, poco a poco, me fui adentrando más y más en la historia tanto por Sombra como por las trastadas de Wednesday.
Lo que más me gustó fue lo diverso de los seres míticos y deidades que aparecen en el libro, realmente es un catálogo diverso de personajes que me tuvo pensando en que deidad podía ser tal o cual personaje; mis favoritos fueron:
- Anansi > el Sr. Nancy
- Thot > el Sr. Ibis
- Anubis > el Sr. Jacquel
- Bastet > la gata de Ibis y Jacquel
- Loki, el preso Low Key Lyesmith
Hubo, aún así, dos historia que me impactaron:
- La historia de los dos hermanos vendidos como esclavos, ¿cómo sería nuestro mundo si los imperios esclavistas hubiésen colapsado mucho antes de lo que hicieron? ¿Y si no hubieran existido? No solo la falta de arrocidades, dolor y sufrimiento, pero la mezcla de razas, la mutilación social y cultural que muchos pueblos sufrieron ¿Cómo serían las culturas y nuestro mundo moderno? ¿Cómo hubiera sido el intercambio cultural entre países sin estos imperios?
Los niños asesinados en Lakeside, la monstrousidad que los humanos creamos en esos dioses tribales y los pobres niños que pagaron con su vida la sed de sangre de Hinzelman. Muy Omelas si me lo preguntan.
En cuanto a Wednesday, al principio fue como Ugh, maldito arrogante suertudo pero luego que le roba a la cajera, a los negocios y sobretodo como trata a Pascua y a la mesera del café me quise meter al libro para golpearlo y decirle que me importa un comino su berrinchito porque ya no le matan gente o animales en su nombre. Es peor, mucho peor, que la mesera a la que trata como basura.
Por último, el final del libro fue tan sorprendente como el desprecio que le agarré a Wednesday, que es mucho. Puedo decir con certeza que me alegro
