La asombrosa historia del viajero de las estrellas
Tres piratas van a ser condenados a muerte por un tribunal de la Corona Española en el año de 1700. Sólo uno de ellos alega su inocencia y, para probarlo, pide al juez que le conceda tres días para escribir su fascinante historia. En ella se revelarán las más asombrosas aventuras de un hombre que conoció los recónditos reinos que existen en el fondo del mar y más allá de las estrellas. Hazañas maravillosas que no sólo sorprenderían a un juez del siglo XVIII, sino también a los lectores de hoy. Esta novela es un típico ejemplo del género Fantasy. Jordi Sierra i Fabra nace en Barcelona y luego de un grave accidente hace sus primeras incursiones literarias. Ha experimentado en todos los géneros literarios y ha sido galardonado con algunos de los premios más importantes de su país en novela y literatura infantil y juvenil. Varias de sus novelas han sido llevadas al cine por TVE entre otras productoras.

I really liked it but I would like more love

El título es un poco naíf pero vale la pena abrirlo. Está bien estructurado. Recuerda un poco la dinámica de El nombre del viento de Patrick Rothfuss: un viejo aventurero contando su historia en tres días. Pero aquí el protagonista está a punto de ser condenado a muerte por un juez del siglo XVIII y, con la premura del tiempo, empieza a narrar su historia sin detenerse en muchos detalles. Y es en este punto donde el libro, a pesar de ser infantil, se vuelve atractivo, pues resulta interesante contrastar el proceder de ambos escritores. Patrick Rothfuss, con su asesino de reyes, queriendo sacar el máximo potencial de su personaje principal, y Jordi Sierra, interesado sólo en explotar la trama de su historia. Ambas posturas muy nobles. Muy buenos libros los dos.
