4.0

As a fan of magical realism, this book succeeded in drawing me into its world. It read a little like 100 years of solitude but in a darker, medieval European time. After finishing the last sentence, I must admit that I did not understand it all on the first go. M guess is that this book is one that you have to go back to read again.
