Una lectura magistral, de un lenguaje rico, de tradiciones, con personajes complejos, con una historia que te atrapa y unos protagonistas de temer. La única crítica que le haría es la duración de los capítulos pero, a futuros lectores, paciencia, que la historia lo vale.

The story was alright. however, the narrative is incredibly sexist and racist. The description of sex and women in general is appalling. Some points just felt like I was reading a “straight alpha male” fantasy. This impression only intensified as the story developed. The description of women is so vile you’d think the author never interacted with one his whole life. If you enjoyed this book because you see it as a "peak portrayal of masculinity," please seek immediate help.
