The book is very beautifully interwoven with Mexican myths and legends.  I liked the story a lot.  It was beautifully written and the storytelling style was absolutely amazing.

Lo siento pero dnf. Estaba al 57% y aún no estaba pasando absolutamente nada, así que no voy a perder mi tiempo leyendo esto.

La trama tenía bastante potencial y al ser ambientado en México me llamó bastante la atención pero ir a más de la mitad del libro y que me aburra totalmente hace que no me apetezca leerlo en absoluto. Es MUY lento y uff… No es para mí. Demasiada descripción innecesaria y el romance entre una persona de no sé cuántos años con una adolescente de verdad que no me llama en absoluto, más bien me irrita🤷🏻‍♀️.



(Si alguien se lo ha leído al completo y me dice lo que pasa al final pues guay, pero tampoco me quita el sueño).

I wouldn't normally pick up this kind of thing really enjoyed it. 

This novel is fantasy based on around Mexican Myth of the underworld with elements of fairytale and good old adventure. 

The plot kept me gripped and was tight throughout with a strong Heroine and anti hero. 

This is my first time reading any work of  Silvia Marino Garcia but I want to read more,

I think it was very interesting. It’s kind of like a mythological odyssey. Kind of fairytale like. There’s also a lot to learn about the culture and the mythology so it’s in its own way educational.
