Para fans de "Station Eleven". Me ha gustado mucho que tenga múltiples protagonistas (¿6? ¿10? No los he contado), me he dado cuenta de que es my thing.

Pero estoy cansadísima de las malas traducciones de Umbriel. Hacen que parezca que estás leyendo algo que ha escrito alguien que no es nativo del idioma ("escribir de vuelta", "contarle a alguien sobre algo", etc). Ya basta.

There was a moment here when I thought this could be a 4 star or at least something above 3. But alas. So much potential. Poor execution. The concept was fantastic but the limited scope of the story really annoyed me at points. I am very intrigued by the topic of death and the potential in this book. At the 80% mark, i heard back from the college for my masters and then I was too numb to effectively feel anything about this book whatsoever. I did not care for the characters and that this was so America centric. More existentialism would not have been misplaced.
