Desde pequeño he sentido fascinación por Julio Verne, Edgar Allan Poe y H. P. Lovecraft, y más adelante por Arthur C. Clarke, Frank Herbert y Stanislav Lem.

Rafael Gaztelu liked María Fornieles's review of Honor a la espada enemiga: "Una joya, así lo digo. La escritura es impecable, el worldbuilding riquísimo y la historia se lee sola. A mí, que no leo nada de ciencia ficción, me duró una tarde, y nada de lectura diagonal ni nada. El worldbuilding es espectacular, lleno de detall" Read more of this review »

Rafael Gaztelu liked leyendoconand's review of Honor a la espada enemiga: "4.5/5⭐️ 🔏: La historia está contada por un narrador en tercera persona. El ritmo es ágil y los hechos ocurren de forma continua. Se trata de un space opera, es decir, un subgénero dentro de la cifi en el que ocurren aventuras futuristas/ tecnológicas " Read more of this review »

No me ha gustado nada. Conversaciones inconexas, personajes anti-interesantes. Está escrito como un guión de series, pero mal. Lo siento mucho porque me venía muy recomendado. No sé si ha sido un buen lugar donde meterme en los mundos de China Mieville.
