Iba con muchas ganas de leer esta segunda parte y tenía muy altas expectativas porque "Reina roja" me encantó pero con "Loba negra" me ha pasado justo lo contrario.

Volvemos a tener como protagonistas a Antonia y Jon, dos personajes que me fascinaron en la primera parte y de los que necesitaba saber más pero que además de perder mucho fuelle, no nos traen nada interesante.

La trama se me ha quedado floja. Para empezar, la idea principal no me pareció interesante y eso ya me influyó mucho. Se daban vueltas a muchas situaciones que creo que sobraban, la historia no avanza y es muuuy aburrida, tanto que he tardado un mes en terminar de leerlo. Lo único que podría salvar es el final que fue ALUCINANTE y que llevaba necesitando desde el principio de la historia.

Este libro ha sido una decepción y me da mucha pena porque "Reina roja" me encanta y creo que esta segunda parte no es ningún tipo de puente para la última parte de la trilogía. Eso sí, voy a terminar la saga y voy a intentar hacer como que este libro no existe.

Solo le doy un 2 por el final, que es lo único salvable de este libro.

I’m exploring fiction translated into English.  The Red Queen series features two flawed protagonists that you can’t help rooting for. Mystery/thriller. Start with The Red Queen.

I can’t give this book enough stars. How are we supposed to wait a year for the final book?!
