Story : Umm... Idk, I really wasn't into it. The story is about Daniel, a boy who wants to know hiw favorite author... and it's just so loooong! It seems like a detective story: he goes to a person that tells him something and the has to go to another person so that person can tell him something abot the other person... my head hurts. If it was shorter, I think I would have loved it, but man, I think from the middle of the book the story really begins. There are some nice plot-twists along the way.

Characters : Daniel is a really likable character. You understand what he's doing and you support him. Fermin is another great character and the chemistry between him and Daniel is perfect. The dialogue, again, is really on point. The villain is just whatever, same with a lot of characters that just appear and the come back after 100 pages.

Overall : A semi-boring book, which if it was shorter, would have been really great!
