El trabajo de documentación es increíble, está muy currado todo y se nota mucho en los detalles, tanto en el contexto histórico como en los paisajes, comportamientos, etc.Sin embargo, el ritmo se me hizo lentísimo y tarda muchísimo en arrancar la historia. La parte con realismo mágico no sé si me convence mucho, se ve como un recurso fácil del que echar mano para ciertos nudos en la historia.El romance no sé si me ha convencido. Creo que me faltó un poco más de chispa y más momentos entre ellos narrados para el lector y así sentir que realmente estos dos se quieren, porque a él se le ve como un poco caprichoso y a ella con poco carácter.
