Cómo los anteriores, me ha gustado mucho el libro pero el final me ha sabido a poco, especialmente terminando la trilogía.

Me gusta mucho como describe la sociedad y sus retos pero, similar al primero libro de la saga, el final no me ha gustado mucho. Aún así lo recomendaría a gente que le guste mucho la ciencia ficción.

Comer sin miedo : mitos, falacias y mentiras sobre la alimentación en el siglo XXI (2018, Destino)

Review of 'Comer sin miedo : mitos, falacias y mentiras sobre la alimentación en el siglo XXI' on 'Goodreads'

The first half of the book was extremely slow, to many details for a non English native. The second half picked up the pace but I still keep a feeling of 'wasn't enough'.

Maybe it's just not my kind of book and I need more charismatic characters.

Review of 'World of Ice and Fire' on 'Goodreads'

I was expecting more for the book, I liked illustrations and some stories but others were way too long for me. I guess not every Valyrian King was as interesting as Aegon. Not every kingdom as interesting as the North.

But people with more patience will surely like this more than me.
