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 like the machinations in this very much, and the horror elements are good. McDowell has a good hand usually at showing the hypocrisy of the South, though here he doesn’t really comment on the Jim Crow society that it’s set in (and it’s very much that, as a heads-up). I wish he would have interrogated more there, but Ellinor’s whole deal is very creepy and good. It’s clear she’ll swallow them whole. Baptizing her daughter in Perdido water was a good touch. Excited to read the rest.

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 👀
