Este libro... Este libro es perfección. En serio no cambiaría absolutamente nada. Avanza rápido pero no demasiado rápido como para perderse y tiene escenas de descanso por medio. Los personajes son uufff. Rin es la mejor, mi favorita, se merece el mundo. Espero que su relación con Kitay se quede en amistad porque lo estarían malogrando. Por último, no me creo que Nezha esté muerto de verdad. Apuesto todo a que vuelve.

This is a great read - but it is VERY gore filled as well as descriptive of horrible things. 
Also this is not a book for people who hate haveing a main character with mixed morality.
