Creo que, en esta entrega de Sarah, se va notando ya la experiencia; siendo Acotar una historia que llevaré siempre en el corazón, debo reconocer que está está mejor estructurada y construida, lo que hace de este un mejor libro de su género.
En cuanto a la historia… ¡ME HA ENCANTADO! Resulta muy emocionante casi desde el principio, ya que empezamos con un giro importante.
Nuestra protagonista es Bryce, una medio humana medio fae sin poder que siempre ha recibido el desprecio de una sociedad que la considera una despreciable mestiza. Se ve envuelta en una investigación de asesinato en Ciudad Medialuna, un sitio repleto de seres de todas las clases; faes, ángeles, humanos, brujas etc.
¿Podrá ella descubrir qué ha pasado? ¿O, el pasado que no la permite nada más que seguir existiendo pesa tanto que sucumbirá a su propio dolor?
Se oye hablar mucho de que al principio cuesta hacerse con el libro ya que aparecen muchos personajes y tal… yo no lo he vivido así. Tienes que ubicarte, como en todos los libros, pero no veo que cueste más.
Sólo hay una cosa que me ha molestado pero aviso de que es un SPOILER

Al final de la historia, Bryce y el protagonista masculino no culminan su amor… ya sabéis! Siempre pasa algo que te dejan con la miel en los labios y, francamente, en un libro de 800 páginas TIEMPO HAS TENIDO!!
Imagino que lo quiere reservar para el próximo libro pero la verdad es que creo que resulta forzada tanta espera. Sabiendo además que ninguno de los dos es una hermanita de la caridad que vivan el sexo con algún tipo de represión… pero bueno, qué le vamos a hacer!
