Los mejores cuentos de… dragones by Edgar Allan Poe

lighthearted reflective medium-paced

1.75

Muuuuy aburrido, Dios que mala selección de cuentos en el primero ni quiera había un dragón! solo 2 o 3 de los cuentos presentados eran entretenidos, no lo recomiendo para amantes de los dragones

Muy bueno! El primero es mejor en general, debido a los 3 puntos de vista que lamentablemente no se podían replicar en este libro.
Me costó un poco seguir la voz del narrador esta vez y fue un poco más lento que el primer libro, pero esta historia es buenísima y atrapante y no puedo esperar para leer el último libro!!

Such a good story, with beautiful storytelling. Le Guin has a way with words that never cease to amaze me…
As a fan of Greek and Roman mythology I must say, this is one of those “retellings” (this is not a retelling, but it kind of fits that category) that was done right. She gave voice to the women of that time in a really gracious way, giving complement to the original story, not tweaking it to fit a different narrative, just telling the story from a different point of view.
Honestly a joy to read.

Adictivo!
Vivo por el chisme y este libro era drama y más drama.
Además, Cardan se volvió el meme de will smith mostrando a su esposa, que más se puede pedir en esta vida.

Un muy buena historia, realmente un muy buen libro. Recomiendo leer las etiquetas de temáticas sensibles antes de leerlo, a mi personalmente algunas escenas me dejaron con el pecho pesado y náuseas (por la temática), pero eran parte necesaria de la historia. De haber leídos los trigger warnings lo habría leído de todas maneras.

From page 100 and on I couldn’t stop reading, this book is so good. It made me cry so much tho, got me right in the feels.
Loved that it was written in the tumblr era, as I was a tumblr/youtube/fandom girly I enjoyed a lot that setting.
