Calificaciones y opiniones

This book (and the trilogy in general) is very well made. It presents a plot full of adversities that make you keep reading to know how it conclude. The only reason I don't give this book the five stars is, precisely, because the ending which in my opinion was very poor. The author (I feel) had an eagerness to finish the book as soon as possible, due to that the ending feels incomplete, or more precisely, it feels like the book needs to continue, it feels like something doesn't fit. In other words, the book has loose ends which is very unfortunate for such a great trilogy. Nevertheless, I would recommend this book and this trilogy, it was very good indeed but it could have been a lot better.
