ive got no words. i DEVOURED IT. actually i do i have a lot of words. magical marvelous incredible haunting breathtaking. this book took me on a 24 hours roller coaster. i was litteraly IN IT. the use of the color, the romance, the sister relationships, the mystery, the 73848 plot twists that make you feel sick in your stomach. i just fell in love me thinks.

  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix
  • Loveable characters? It's complicated

¡Menuda maravilla para la fantasía juvenil!

Me ha tenido enganchada en todo momento por lo bien escrito que está y todo el enigma que contiene, su protagonista es una heroína muy realista y el mundo que lo rodea es magia pura. Creo que Stephanie Garber ha sabido transmitirnos muy bien las sensaciones de un mundo lleno de magia, con todas sus sensaciones buenas y a la vez todo lo horrible y macabro que puede tornarse todo. Los escenarios están poco desarrollados pero sí que es verdad que aquí le daba más importancia a las sensaciones para transportarnos a las calles de Caraval.

En cuanto a misterio que contiene esta primera parte de la trilogía ha sabido llevarse muy acorde con lo fantasioso, haciendo que pienses todo el rato en quién podía ser el villano detrás de todo el misterio y viendo cómo podía interferir su magia en ello.

Lo único que le echo en falta es un poco más de desarrollo a Julián, el interés romántico, ya que Scarlett está muy bien llevada y podemos identificarnos casi siempre con ella.

Por otro lado, os aviso de que a España no han llegado todas las partes traducidas pero por lo que he podido leer por foros llegarían antes de que acabe 2021.

I have a lot of mixed feelings about this book. I feel like the plot twist kept changing every second chapter and it was oddly confusing. It was still a really good read though

Overall good story and twists. However it felt hard to keep up with what I was looking at as there was so much going on. Conversations felt short and just overall rushed.
