Mal llamada literatura juvenil, creo que la saga del Mar quebrado tiene todo lo que el amante del grimdark, fantasía oscura y Joe Abercrombie pueda desear. Buena historia, buenos personajes, muchos sinsabores... En un mundo muy curioso.
En realidad sería un 4,5/5. Increíble de principio a fin con unos capítulos finales de verdadero infarto. Muy recomendable para cualquier lector al que le gusten las novelas de aventuras, no sólo fantásticas.
