El bestiario de Axlin es un libro excelente sin duda alguna.
Cuando leí la contraportada, no pensé que iba a ser tan literal. Esperaba una cosa y de pronto me saltan con otra tan inesperadamente buena, que mis ojos no pudieron parar de leer. Si hay algo que siempre le he ovacionado a Laura Gallego es su construcción de mundos; es completamente envidiable. Este mundo no es la excepción y en este primer libro, se aprovecha el tema introductorio para sumergirte en este mundo a un ritmo pausado, pero no por ello lento. Vas aprendiendo con Axlin y es como estar a su lado durante toda la aventura; el miedo que sientes es comparable al de ella y la vuelta de página se explota increíblemente.
Axlin es una protagonista tan bien hecha, que llega a dar rabia. Me encantó pasar cada página con ella, ver su crecimiento desde que está en el enclave hasta que el final del libro y cómo va explicando el mundo al que te estás enfrentando. Los otros personajes son igual de buenos y dentro de los parámetros de este mundo, todo es super creíble.
Nuevamente, me quito el sombrero ante Laura Gallego, gran libro y super recomendable.

Sometimes it goes to a 3.5/5 to be honest.
Reading this kind of genre is not right up my alley, but I got this book on a Christmas and my family, who knows I'm a savy reader, always pick books for me with thought and care, so I always give them a chance.
I was really surprised by it. The plot twist wasn't something I thought about or saw until it was too late, so I enjoyed it a lot. Sometimes it felt too slow, with the unreliable narrator, but overall I liked it for my first time with this type of fiction. If I get another book by this author, I'll probably give it a shot too.

I bought this book out of the summary and the cover. And even though I wasn't expecting more than a decent YA, in a long time I hadn't read so obsessively like with Insomnia.
I really liked how this unreliable narrator played in this book. I was really doubting everything that happened and felt sorry and wary for Parker because I didn't knew what to believe, which I loved. The idea was super original too and even thinking about what he went through, it made me tired.
I was so eager for the next book, but from the three, this is my favourite. The other two fell in the trap of generic YA, which was kind of a bump, but this for me is still the highlight and I hold it dear for that.
