Cuando deseas terminar un libro, en mi caso lo considero muy mala señal. Las primeras paginas las disfrute, pero luego comence a sentir la lectura demasiado pesada, aburrida y perdi el interes demasiadas veces.
Es de esas historias que tiene todo el potencial, pero fue muy mal ejecutada, lo cual es una pena porque la prosa no es mala.
No hay mucho mas que agregar, este libro definitivamente no es para mi.

The opening feels like Act III of a story just missed, then runs right into a sequel. The pacing feels rushed, and the plot elements are jumping around rather jarringly (at 30% done). It didnt improve in pacing through the end. There are way to many disparate and overpowered supernatural elements at play, so much so that you get no decent sense of the characters. In some ways, imagine an entire season or two of Supernatural was condensed into one book. The sad part is the story itself held promise, which is why I held on to the end.
