¡Me ha encantado! Empecé a leerlo sin saber muy bien de que iba y me ha sorprendido. Me ha maravillado lo que plantea la autora y cómo explora el tema de la muerte y el duelo. Muy interesante reflexionar sobre estos temas de la mano de este libro.

Maybe I'm just a sucker for a book about grief bc of my lived experiences, but this book is such a beautiful what if. What a fantastic world of magical realism, so fun to read about. Also I don't know if I ever found guyliner attractive, but Wes certainly sounds like he pulls it off 😉. Definitely YA, but that doesn't mean this was any less gripping than more adult books. I will be thinking about this book for a long time.

This story is really well planned out. And its not like anything I've read before. I loved it.

Tak já nevím... bylo to divný, to jo, a spousta věcí prostě nebyla dostatečně vysvětlená a opodstatněná, ale ok. Konec se dal.
...a hlavně poslední věta autorčina poděkování mě dostala :D

A very well written murder mystery. The only thing I didn't like was the uneven pacing; for the majority of the book the pacing is somewhere between slow and steady, unlike the ending where I felt that it was rushing to wrap things up nicely.

THIS. IS. SO. AMAZING. I now understand the people who praise Victoria/V.E. Schwab for her books. This is my first Schwab book but she’s already a favorite author to me! I can tell I’ll enjoy her other books because she just has this charm in her writing. Ya feel me?

The way Victoria reimagined the ghost/death (or whatever you call it) world is so dark and awesome.
