Relectura
04/12/21 pág. 279
Termino el primer libro de la saga y de este volumen que incluye también el segundo.
⚠️Podría contener pequeños spoilers a partir de aquí:
La verdad es que me ha costado bastante terminarlo. No recordaba lo intensa y pesimista que es esta saga. Además, durante este libro, la historia te va creando una sensación de desilusión y decepción que no desaparece hasta, prácticamente, los últimos libros (si no el último). Se podría decir que es cosa de este género, fantasía urbana, la protagonista es torturada y se le da un palo tras otro. Por esto mismo, para leer esta saga hay que estar en cierto estado de ánimo y la verdad es que yo no estoy ahora mismo en uno de esos momentos.
Luego, cuando se termina de leer, de verdad que merece la pena pero mientras tanto, me pregunto si lo que pasa es que soy masoquista 🤣
Me gustan mucho los personajes. Están bien construidos. Aunque Mira puede llegar a sacarme de los nervios con esa adoración ciega que siente por Jabari. Personaje que, por cierto, no soporto.
El universo creado para esta saga es, también, muy interesante.
Voy a dejarla en pausa por el momento. Para cuando esté de humor para seguir con la relectura.

I discovered Jocelynn Drake in the Unbound anthology. The short story was good enough without prior knowledge of the main characters that I had to seek out the source material. I was not disappointed with either one of these books (this edition hold books 1 and 2 in case you missed it). Mira, our heroine, is almost unapologetically flawed. She fights to keep nightwalkers and other supernatural beings from being discovered by the general human population. Of course, since all she wants is to live her life away from the ruling body of the nightwalkers over in Venice, she gets drawn into an international hunt for those who would destroy our world forcing her to work for/with the Coven. She also ends up changing her solo life in ways she never imagined.

I don't care for most typical Urban Fantasy that's marketed these days. Too much of it is actually Paranormal Romance, I didn't care for Laurel K. Hamilton over 10 years ago. However, for all those Twi-Hards and True Bleeders, I am more than happy to recommend some Jocelynn Drake.
Sure, there's a bit of romance. There's a good bit of action, too. More importantly, there's an amazing world mythos behind the characters, detailed and fascinating. I mean... Fairies are freakin' eco-terrorist! That's just awesome.

It was a good story line but something about it just didn't suck me in enough to want to continue the series
