At times, the storytelling was beautiful, and at other times, it seemed like it went on and on without purpose. Or, at least, I just didn’t really care as much as I wanted to. I’m not big into video games, so that could definitely be why.
I felt that the characters were realistic, and I appreciate that we got to see multiple sides of them over many years.

En cuanto a los personajes, es un libro que te deja ver tanto lo bueno como lo malo. No se pretende crear personas perfectas, sino precisamente profundizar en las relaciones humanas entre personas normales, con sus virtudes pero, especialmente, con sus defectos.
A pesar de ello, los personajes se me han hecho muy entrañables y no resulta difícil ponerte en su lugar y entender y respetar el porqué de sus decisiones, pese a poder no estar de acuerdo con las mismas.
En general, me parece un muy buen libro para pasar una tarde relajante de lectura, con sus altibajos y algún que otro giro argumental inesperado.

It's very well written. However, nothing about it surprised me or really stuck out to me. The emotional parts didn't land as I think they were meant to.
I hesitate to recommend it, but I also hesitate to write it off.
