4.0

An excellent set of short stories that are thought-provoking, well written and extremely gripping. I especially enjoyed the first three short stories which were so interesting and deep that I wished that they were even longer!

This book is hard to rate. Being a collection of short stories, some Will obviously be better than other. The titular novella, Nightflyers, was a great 4.5 star read, and a song for lya was even greater still. That being Said, the other stories weren’t nearly as good

Fue un suplicio leerlo. Los cuentos eran tediosos y no lograron atraparme como fue el caso del primer tomo de ciencia ficción (Una canción para Lya). El cuento que más disfrute fue “Camino de la cruz y el dragón”, fue el único que logró atraparme y motivarme a terminar el libro.
No pude terminar algunos cuentos, me aburri demasiado.

Creo que quede con la vara muy alta después de “Una canción para Lya”

pd; igual quedé triste que no me gustara, le podría dar otra oportunidad? no lo sé, me aburrí demasiado. Pero aun así no niego la excelente pluma de George RR martin, es un gran autor y creador de mundos.
