This book will forever live in my soul. It has chewed me up and spat me out. The emotional connection I have to Ariah is one that will live with me forever.
Quizás luego haga una reseña en forma porque hay mucho que desmenuzar de este libro en el que pareciera que no pasa nada (es lentito, pero de una manera que disfruté), pero pasa mucho. Quiero mucho a Ariah y me encantó cómo va aprendiendo y creciendo; y sufría mucho con toda la de cosas malas que le pasan al pobre. Tuvo cosillas que me dejaron con ganas de que ahondara más, pero es que más que en el "worldbuilding" del mundo de fantasía, se centra en Ariah y sus relaciones, y los personajes son un punto fuerte de la historia (Sorcha mi amor, mi favorito de este libro por mucho). Amé cómo aborda los temas de identidad, amor, amistad, familia y diferentes formas de crear vínculos, es muy precioso.
DNF. There was too much sociopolitical stuff for me to keep track of! Red elves, blue elves, grey elves, each don't like the others,for x, y, or z reasons! It made it hard to even keep track of who was who. I gave up about 15% in :/
This was a beautiful journey through a new world. Written like a fantasy memoir, the main character Ariah brings the reader along on his journey through rich, vibrant worlds, each new one bringing him face to face with new ways of understanding relationships, gender, and community. It was like listening to someone reminisce around the fire. Slow at times, but so rich with emotion and self-discovery. As Ariah opened up to new ways of loving, so did I.
