This was part of the Spain haul from last year, w/the translated Dyachenkos. I'm treating this lil' book bundle like a luck charm. :D
My sister was asking me if reading in other languages could help w/exhaustion, & I said I hadn't thought to take note. But now I see I read quicker & less nitpicky-minded in other languages. Interesting!
It's marketed as a "anti-fairy tale." Will be my last of the genre for a while.

The Spanish fantasists have a very particular narration style that the Anglophone authors don't. That's one thing I love, I've noticed it in 3 Fantasy authors from Spain already.
Yesssss! I haven't read many Spanish authors but Laura Gallego is my favorite so far
