It was so complicated. I had no idea what was happening, I had no emotional connection. All round I just really didn’t like it

El final es imperdonable. Te puedo pasar que me dejes a los villanos como títeres sin matices ni motivaciones más allá de su beneficio social y economico. Pero no puedes resolverme un conflicto que has creado con 300 páginas en 2. Deja muy mal sabor de boca al lector. Tienes, como autora, atarme aunque sea algunos cabos para que el final abierto sea satisfactorio.

Por lo demas, las 400 páginas restantes contienen una muy buena premisa e idea que, para ser una debutante, se ejectuaron elegantemente y con fluidez.
