Con gran pesar de mi parte, debo ponerle 2.5, porque como dice la puntuación, “it was ok” pero no lo suficiente como para gustarme.Le tenía grandes expectativas a este libro. Esperaba que me gustase lo suficiente como para tener a un nuevo detective al cual admirar; y en cierto modo, Cormoran no me desagrada del todo. Lo que no me gustó fue lo largo que se hace la historia. Parece forzada y un poco estirada.Leo mucho misterio y suspenso así que supongo que me te acostumbrado a cierto ritmo en la historia; y con este libro me sentí estancada en muchas partes, por lo que terminó aburriéndome conforme avanzaba.El final ha sido de lo más predecible. Era bastante lógico deducir quién era el asesino; pero le doy crédito a la autora por haber tenido algunas sorpresas reveladoras.En conclusión, estoy bastante decepcionada y supongo que influye el hecho de que le tenía grande expectativas a este libro.No estoy muy segura de querer continuar leyendo más libros de esta serie, aunque creo pero tendré que pensarlo bien antes de comprar [bc:The Silkworm 18214414 The Silkworm (Cormoran Strike, #2) Robert Galbraith https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1392577290s/18214414.jpg 25639104] porque me parece que tiene mejor pinta que éste.
I am Beyond Bewitched with this book! This is one of the best story I have read in a long time!!!
I don't recommend reading this one if you at least haven't watched the anime. There are some crucial details that you wouldn't be able to understand; therefore, read the manga o watch the anime first.
I absolutely love it! I enjoyed every adventure and I cannot wait to see more of Geralt and, of course, Dandelion too.
My only complaint here is the lack of maps. I need maps, people! I need to know where I'm going. And also it'd be really helpful to have the translations of the dwarf's language. I understood them in context, but I want to make sure I understood correctly. Overall it was an awesome book!!
I loved the idea, but the story felt too short, and like it didn't have a proper ending. Still, I'll read more books by this author because his novels seem more interesting.
I haven't read The Lord of the Rings (yeah, shame on me), but I can confidently say this book is nothing like that series. Maybe the comparison is due to the large fan base and impact this book has. However, I can't see the epic fantasy elements here.
I have never heard of this series before, so my review is based solely on my first encounter with this series.
That said, I don't think this is a bad book. I see a lot of people complaining about the translation, but for being honest I didn't think it was too bad. I'm sure I missed some wordplays and puns, but I guess that can't be helped. Chinese and English have different structures so I can't expect every translation to be perfect.
So why the rating? The main character. I found him so frustrating sometimes, that I wanted to stop reading just to slap him on the face. Maybe he changes later on, but I don't know if it's worth to invest in a book I'm not very sure I'll like.
Despite all of my objections, I still found the book interesting. The culture and worldview were refreshing and different from everything I've read.
Actual rating: 3.5 ⭐️
I liked this book more than the first one. The plot was better, the pace too, and the new characters added more depth to Harry's story.
I'm still not sure if I'll continue the series, but it's a possibility in the future.
El libro fue interesante, sin embargo me dio la impresión de que estaba leyendo el guión de una telenovela mexicana. Me parece que se centró demasiado en el romance, no le pusieron mayor énfasis en el misterio y eso lo convirtió en muy monótono. No obstante, algunas partes estuvieron bien escritas y la acción fue cautivante, sobre todo cuando describe los duelos.
This is a story a bit strange but fun. I liked the three dreams that the king had and I think a story is not necessarily just for kids, everyone can enjoy reading.
From far, my favorite short story of Poe. Morella is a complicated woman, eccentric and unique. This story is about a kind of revenge because Morella was never loved and her daughter was the glory and doom for her husband. Poe emphasizes the power of Morella even after her death and the end of the story leaves us shocked and amazed.
Me gustan los clásicos y tenía ansias de leer este libro, pero tengo una ligera decepción. Me esperaba más acción y no fue así. Sin embargo, no puedo negar de que fue divertido y las aventuras de los personajes fueron bastante singulares.

Now that I have a clear mind and free of tears, I can just make this review as it should.
This is a book like no other. It's one of those that move you so much that make you cry. I had to contain the urge to mourn because I didn't want to miss a word of the story of Chung -Cha .
It's an enthralling , dramatic and heartfelt story. Chung- Cha's life is a reflection of a small portion of people who have suffered persecution because of their faith. Her words give us a new vision of the martyrs, that are humans and as we all, have strengths and weaknesses.
I really enjoyed reading this story . Each page was revealing and had a good pace. But ... I have been left with a bitter taste because the end didn't convince me at all... However , it is a book which I highly recommend because it opens the perspective of what is true Christianity.
I guess with Alana Terry's new book: “Slave again” I'll finally understand the side of the history of Mee-Kyong.
Thanks to the author for providing This Copy . This fact did not Influence the review.
Erin Healy knows exactly how to lead us throughout the book, and follow the dramatic and moving story of a broken family.In this life full of lies, they must discover important values but the way it's not so easy to take.
Motherless is a unique story. It is narrated in the first person. The character moves from one scenario to another in a very strange way -as a ghost- and makes us wonder the reason why the character is in that state. Besides being the story of a mother, is that of a broken family living wrapped in a web of lies; and in the hour of truth, it will not be easy to accept, and what's more: forgiving.
The story is very dramatic and poignant, yet full of suspense and surprises. In the book there are many twists in the plot, that you can't speculate what's going to happen next.
If you've read any books by Erin Healy, you know that she has a particular and poignant way of telling things. Her novels always touch the heart, because you can identify some point in your life in the book.
Since the family is the center of the whole story, the issues it raises are very deep and I think it applies to anyone who feels that their family bond is riddled with lies. But Erin Healy, not satisfied with showing us the problems also leads us to a solution where we learn that all situations that seem torment us, have a solution.
I recieved a free eBook from BookLookBloogers but this fact didn't influence the review.

Definitivamente éste es mi libro favorito de Frank Peretti.
Me gusta su estilo de narración porque es bastante descriptivo en cuanto al ambiente y eso te ayuda a imaginarte mejor las escenas y a sentirte parte de la historia.
Y como la mayoría de sus libros, éste se sitúa en un pueblo pequeño, donde hay secretos que los habitantes no quieren que se sepa, y si se descubren pues... (Tienen que leerlo para saber lo que ocurre)
As a fan of Alana Terry, I can't help but love all of her books. I can't say anything else because I'm still in this bookish-mood... I can't take Hannah & Simon out of my head.
Just when I think Alana Terry can't be better, she does it again! This book is SO GREAT! I can't believe I read it in less than two hours! Really addictive and full of meaning. I love the honesty of the words and I'm SO looking forward to read the next book!
This is such a great book and the reason why I can't give a higher rating is because I made a huge mistake: I read this book without knowing it was the final in a series, so of course I missed the whole story.
This book was a wild ride of emotions. The characters were complex and they made the story even more interesting.
I'd like to say more but I didn't enjoy this as much as I would have liked because I didn't read the first two books, so shame on me! Now that I've learnt the lesson and I won't do it again.
So, my advice is: read the whole series. It's worth it!
I won this book through GoodReads and I thank to the publisher for providing me this copy but this fact didn't influence the review.
I really liked this book. Well, actually what I liked was the test. It is very helpful because it helps you discover your strengths, and shows you how you can develop them.
This book caught my attention because it sounded a lot like fiction, but I wasn't sure what to expect.
I don't deny this book is intriguing. Actually, I had to re-read it several times because it was captivating and very impressive. My only problem is that sometimes it was way too unbelievable. I started reading with an open mind, and I really wanted to discover and learn more about the secret messages in the Bible. However, in some parts this book was more fictional than real.
The publisher announced that this book is going to be a film. I'm not sure if it'll be a documentary or a movie, but it'll be interest to watch.
I'm still not sure if I believe 100% what this book states, but I must admit it was a very good reading.
-I received a book from the publisher in exchange for my honest opinion, which I did. However, this fact didn't influence my review-
Actual rating: 4.5
This book was way better than the first one! I'd love to read the final book right now, but I'm afraid I'll have to wait.
This authors are getting better and better with their books. This one was intricately crafted and had me sitting on the edge until the very end. I think that now is safe to say I'll be purchasing their upcoming books without any doubt.
Honestly, I was going to give up with this book. It was kinda boring in the beginning, but it got waaay more interesting and fast paced. I'm glad I finished reading, it was surprisingly good.
Me gustó mucho. La habilidad de la autora para develar secretos de a poco, es innegable e impresionante. Ella tiene una forma de escritura increíble y me ha tenido pegada al libro hasta terminarlo. No podría decir que es la mejor novela de misterio que haya leído, pero definitivamente está dentro de las más memorables.
