skull_servant's review against another edition
1.0
Un muy obvio intento de Cien Años de Soledad. Pero lo que me molestó fue el claro mensaje político que la autora quiere dar a conocer: el capitalismo es malo, y solo sirve para oprimir al pueblo. Esto no es exploración de temas sino propaganda. En el primero uno muestra los dos lados del conflicto, las virtudes y los defectos, y dejan que el lector decida cuál le resulta convincente. En la propaganda solo se muestra un lado como positivo y se demoniza al otro. Por más que la historia haga alusiones a eventos históricos reales, no comparto las intenciones de la autora de manipular al lector. Una decepción.

Deus sabe que eu tentei, mas não consequi me apegar aos personagens nem pela raiva. Achei chato

Dazzling, heart-splitting, ingeniously magical, a new forever favorite. I hope to become fluent enough to read it in its native Spanish someday

I would give this 3.5 stars. It was a slow read, but I enjoyed it. The characters were interesting, and it covered a culture and era I have little familiarity with. It felt like it was dragging on in some portions though.

A long read, felt like it would never end. But so richly detailed and full of magic, it was captivating.
