Te mantiene intrigado durante toda la trama. Un libro que te atrapa, te sacude y te marea para volver a ponerte en su cauce. Es una muy buena carta de presentación para su autor, que aunque tenga más novelas, esta es sin duda alguna maravillosa.

I have seen quite a bit of hype on this book so I knew that I wanted to pick it up for myself. The Red Queen delivers an interesting story; however, I felt myself wanting a bit more from the character work. I will be curious to see how this is adapted to a series and who they will choose to play each part.

L’ho finito di notte in preda all’insonnia. Mi era piaciuto molto lo sviluppo della trama e i vari avvenimenti. Non avevo ancora letto un qualcosa di Giallo e psicologico. Ma purtroppo non mi è piaciuto nè la conclusione (non mi è piaciuto com’è stato trattato), nè la seconda metà del romanzo (troppo frettolosa). Ma nel complesso è un bel romanzo.

La agilidad de la prosa de Juan Gómez-Jurado es indudable, así como su trabajo de "preproducción" de la novela, que le confiere, junto con una trama absorbente, el derecho a que Reina Roja sea una gran historia y él un buenísimo escritor.

A pesar de eso, la historia es, en esencia, una trama policíaca que podría convertirse en una película más de este género. No terminas de conectar con los personajes principales, porque conectar con ellos no resulta necesario para que la trama enganche. Es precisamente este hecho el que me deja con un sabor agridulce, porque aunque la historia sí me ha gustado, no siento la necesidad imperiosa de querer más, de seguir leyendo, y no siento por los personajes que dejo atrás al cerrar el libro.
