Historia sencilla, dibujo bonito, y relación entre personajes muy cuca. El detalle de que ninguna de las protagonistas tenga rostro me ha gustado.
mooncallsme's review
usando esto para la review del ultimo y tercer tomo, El pájaro y la serpiente. (la otra review esta en goodreads). manteniendo muchas d las choices artisticas, de tono y de storytelling, esta entrega tiene un toque más gótico y d leyenda folklórica, creando un mundo fantastico propio alrededor de la tumultuosa vida de una familia noble con una extraña historia. sigue tan criptico y vago como los anteriores; compelling, a pesar d operar bajo unas reglas muy dificiles de descifrar y tener unos personajes no muy accesibles. matilde, la prota, lleva una vida opresiva como parte de una dinastia familiar q parece solo interesada en completar su sacrificio para su propio beneficio; su hermana, soñadora y bizarra, parece tener algo d conocimiento y control sobre la magia de su mundo pero, a pesar de su preocupación y un afecto bastante incestuoso, sigue siendo abusiva. creo q juega mucho con la ambiguedad, con una atmosfera en tensión, y con el poder d las narrativas en constante cambio. con la tragedia, con lo q esta escrito, lo q esta olvidado, lo q nos roba la autonomia, lo q nos hace libres, los mitos y el tiempo. mostly creo q busca gut reactions; trasmitir, sin contar con la logica.

Me ha encantado el arte de este tomo, precioso, y la historia tiene tintes originales y transmite una atmósfera de tristeza y soledad muy potente con solo un par de líneas, pero el final me ha dejado con una gran sensación de impotencia, de querer encontrar algo más que finalmente no está ahí.

Thank you to NetGalley for a review copy of this graphic novel!
I loved this graphic novel. The characters were my favorite part with the artwork being a close second. Teresa runs a bookstore that specializes in magic and the occult. One day she summons a demon named Laura. Laura will grant any wish to Teresa, but therein lies the issue. Teresa doesn't know what she wants. So in the meantime they are stuck with each other. No spoilers here so you'll have to read and find out if Teresa ever thinks of a wish. Definitely, check this graphic novel out!

The concept was interesting and I really liked the drawing style… but the story itself felt unfinished and a bit confusing :/
