Opinión personal: The Killing Moon es el fascinante comienzo de la bilogía Dreamblood. Con un trasfondo que me ha llamado la atención por su complejidad y originalidad, nos sumergimos en una tierra con una gran carga religiosa y onírica en la que la corrupción esté penada con la muerte. Pero que, no obstante, la corrupción parece envolver a la ciudad en una trama que me ha enganchado como lectora. Con unos personajes muy complejos y unas relaciones entre ellos fuera de lo convencional, nos sumergiremos en una trama de conspiración y crisis religiosa con un final esperado, pero a la vez sorprendente que me ha dejado con unas ganas increíbles del segundo libro. Definitivamente, una gran recomendación.

This has become my favorite of N.K. Jemisin's works. So well done. Hypnotic and intriguing.

idk if i was just not locked in but i kinda found this hard to follow and i didn’t feel much for any of the characters. was also very confused by the ending if im honest
Always meant to read this and when I finally did, it blew my mind away. The world building was spectacular and the characters were amazing.

The way the world was created was really impressive and engaging, but I found most of the characters to be lackluster. Not a bad read, but I'm not planning to pick up the sequel anytime soon if at all.
This is only the second ever audio book I’ve tried and the first one i’ve actually finished and though I did enjoy it, the story itself felt a little predictable and I didn’t feel like the stakes were too high. I definitely enjoyed the story but there wasn’t anything special about it. I do suspect that if I had read a physical version my opinion might change but listening to it, I wasn’t super invested in the characters and things like that.
