Side-by-side with a detested rival, Harrow must perfect her skills and become an angel of undeath ― but her health is failing, her sword makes her nauseous, and even her mind is threatening to betray her.
Sealed in the gothic gloom of the Emperor's Mithraeum with three unfriendly teachers, hunted by the mad ghost of a murdered planet, Harrow must confront two unwelcome questions: is somebody trying to kill her? And if they succeeded, would the universe be better off?"
Puesssss, no me ha gustado el ritmo, lo veo excesivo en algunos aspectos, le sobran cosas... Me encanta la imaginación que tiene, pero Buff, me ha costado
Si tuviera que describir esta novela con una palabra, sería “extraña”. Al principio parece que es una cosa, después parece que es otra y, al final, estás dos tercios del libro sin saber qué estás leyendo.
He estado a punto de abandonar el libro varias veces, pero me alegro de no haberlo hecho. Podría decirse que Muir juega con nosotros todo el tiempo. A veces mejor, a veces peor.
Al terminar la lectura me queda la sensación de que es una genialidad, pero no puedo olvidar lo que ha costado llegar hasta el final.
