Cuando eres gentleman la vida te viene guanga

Cuando los libros son así bien buenísimos como que no me dan ganas de escribirles reseñas. Me dan ganas de que sean muy leidos y poder hablar dellos con todo el mundo. ¡Quisiera que mis reseñas trajeran lectores e interlocutores! Aquí ya van varias contradicciones ¿no? La primera que me resulta evidente es que casi nadie lee mis reseñas de modo que no importan. Segunda: que si no escribo las reseñas pues menos las leen.

Por otro lado cuánto me enfada leer malas reseñas (o buenas reseñas que hablan mal) de los libros que más me gustan. Es más: de los libros que me gustan muchísimo realmente no quiero ni enterarme de opiniones, mejor ni me digan. No, nada me digan. A menos de que opinen que son los mejores libros que han leido, lo mismo que yo. Por que ay qué librazo, ¿síono? Claro que sí, qué bueno …

This is where English Magic has gone

Magical History Tour

I have literally had a copy of this book since it came out and was finally able to read it through the magic of audiobooks. The narrator is very good and does distinct character voices that made it much easier to follow and digest. The book itself was very enjoyable, as long novels often are, once you really get into them. There is A LOT of world building and detail, and the characters were mutlifaceted and interesting and the language surrouning faerie and magic was very evocative. Highly recommended.
