Descubre el primer volumen de la saga Blackwater.
Una saga matriarcal. Mujeres poderosas que luchan por el dominio durante generaciones. Una atmósfera única para una lectura adictiva. Un retrato realista con toques sobrenaturales. Escritura magistral y visual en un ambicioso proyecto entre el pulp y HBO.

A blend of Gone With the Wind familial saga with some Lovecraftian horror. Surprisingly effective at pulling you along with the story even as little is happening, and then stabbing you in the back with some visceral horror when you're not expecting it.

Una historia entretenida, sin más. Quería leer algo diferente y mirando reseñas que ponían muy bien al libro, me animé. No sé si es que soy rara, pero no me parece nada del otro mundo.
Lo único curioso de la historia es lo "sobre natural" de la protagonista. Pero no me provoca suficiente curiosidad como para seguir con la serie.
No es que sea una sociedad matriarcal, es que los dos hombres que salen carecen de personalidad y de carácter. Son lo que vulgarmente se llaman "calzonazos".… (mer)
