Me ha gustado, pero en cierta forma me he quedado con preguntas. Siento que hay cosas que no ha cerrado y ha dejado al aire. Por lo demás, me ha gustado la historia y engancha mucho. Mi favorito seguirá siendo el tercero, La casa. Creo que pierden fuelle hacia el final, sobre todo por las cuestiones que no se contestan. Eso sí, para mi este es el qué más me ha puesto los pelos de punta en ciertas partes. En este si he sentido un poco de terror, en comparación con los otros.

And now, a little under a month since I set out, I've come to the end of the Blackwater saga and the story of the Caskey family. This series sweeps you up like a dark tide, deposits you on high ground for awhile, then comes back and washes away everything and everyone you got to know while you were there. It's a beautiful, sharp, unforgettable story that I'm going to spend so much time fruitlessly trying to convince people to read. Because a Southern Gothic epic about an amphibious fish woman marrying into a rich family might be a hard sell, but it's one of the best stories I've ever read.
