Brutal. Es de esos libros que te atrapa y no puedes parar hasta devorarlo, y cuando llegas al final te invita a reflexionar sobre la humanidad, el futuro, la ética y la moral, entre otras cosas. El autor sabe teletransportarte hasta el mundo postapocalíptico de los protagonistas y, aunque un gran peso de la narrativa se basa en descripciones, no se me ha hecho en ningún momento pesada y me ha mantenido en vilo todo el tiempo.

"Pensó que esos seres quizá habían venido a ponerle sobre aviso. ¿De qué? De que él no podía avivar en el corazón del niño lo que en el suyo propio eran cenizas"

the things you can create with very little when you have talent. felt like a stunning indie film. not much happens or is explained but I was gripped.

A good read, quick and entertaining for a story in which almost nothing happens.
