This novel comes about as the result of the most irritating, arrogant type of storytelling. It contains a bucket of tropes, a cask of cliché. The way this works is this: the good guy is so good, so flawed, so perfect in his imperfections, that the bad guy is so focused on him that he brings all of his power to bear, and no one else in the story matters.

A fantastic masterpiece.
Patrck Ness will go down as one of the greatest YA writers of our time. Fuck you John Green and let Mr. Ness walk through.
Ow? Todd? Ow?
Manchee was my absolute favorite character, even though he was the dog.
No one can draw up stories like he can.

Lo leí entre medio de mi bloqueo lector (el cual me ha durado 7 meses aproximadamente, ejem ejem...) y la verdad es que fue un libro el cual disfruté muchísimo, muy dinámico, a mi parecer, y gracias a la forma de escribir de Patrick Ness me pude adentrar de lleno en la historia y el mundo creado en esta trilogía. Es una pena que los siguientes libros no estén publicados en español, aún así pienso ponerme algún día a seguir la trilogía en inglés.
