This reads worse than fanfiction I’ve read. Will no longer be taking my coworkers book suggestions..

slow-paced

You can’t just make someone wait til chapter 30 to get interesting!! I was all set to finish this book and be done with the series but she turned it around at the last minute and got me enticed. Darn it. 

“You can have all the gold in the world and yet lack everything of real worth.”

“But memory and time aren't friends. They reject each other, they hurry in opposite directions, pulling the binding taut between them, threatening to snap. They fight, and we inexplicably lose. Memory and time. Always losing one as you go on with the other.”

Esperaba mucho de este libro y quizá ese fue mi principal problema con esta historia.

No he conseguido conectar con la protagonista. No ha terminado de convencerme.

El inicio me parece demasiado "brusco", por decirlo de alguna manera, aunque a la vez se me ha hecho lento, pesado. Sentía que la historia no avanzaba.

Sin embargo, también tengo que decir que el último tercio del libro da un giro inesperado, se pone más interesante y hace que no quieras soltarlo. Realmente es lo que salva todo el libro y me deja con ganas de seguir con el resto de la saga, aunque no inmediatamente.

La pluma de la autora es amena, haciendo que merezca la pena seguir leyendo.

Me gustaría que tras seguir leyendo la saga pueda decir que me equivoqué y que merece todo el hype que se está llevando.
