About the author

** I am shocked to find that some people think a 2 star 'I liked it' rating is a bad rating. What? I liked it. I LIKED it! That means I read the whole thing, to the last page, in spite of my life raining comets on me. It's a good book that survives the reading process with me. If a book is so-so, it ends up under the bed somewhere, or maybe under a stinky judo bag in the back of the van. So a 2 star from me means,yes, I liked the book, and I'd loan it to a friend and it went everywhere in my jacket pocket or purse until I finished it. A 3 star means that I've ignored friends to finish it and my sink is full of dirty dishes. A 4 star means I'm probably in trouble with my editor for missing a deadline because I was reading this book. But I want you to know . . . I don't finish books I don't like. There's too many good ones out there waiting to be found.

Reviews

[Kaira Stark · Rating 5 out of 5]

He devorado cada página y siento que esta segunda parte me está atrapando todavía más que la anterior. La historia va ganando intensidad poco a poco y me encanta cómo, de repente, todo lo que parecía un detalle suelto en el primer libro empieza a encajar con una naturalidad increíble.

Una de las cosas que más me está fascinando de esta saga es la trama política. Las alianzas, las traiciones y los intereses de personajes como Althea, Malta, Kennit o Brashen hacen que todo tenga muchísima más profundidad. Nunca sé en quién confiar ni qué giro me espera, y eso hace que leerla sea una experiencia súper adictiva.

Y qué decir de la evolución de los personajes… me parece brillante. Althea sigue siendo una de las que más me interesa, pero también me sorprende muchísimo ver cómo cambian Malta o Wintrow a medida que todo se complica. Incluso personajes que al principio no me convencían nada ahora me tienen completamente pendiente de cada una de sus decisiones.

Robin Hobb tiene un talento enorme para crear personajes complejos y hacer que todos tengan peso dentro de la historia. Todo se siente vivo, real y muy bien construido, como si cada pieza estuviera colocada exactamente donde debe estar.

Yo ya estoy completamente enamorada de esta saga y me muero por saber cómo termina esta historia.
