4.5 stars, rounded up.
I enjoyed this one once it got going. A good chunk at the beginning is giving the backstory to a lot of characters from the first book. A LOT of backstory. It was a bit much for my taste.
And some things were a bit too neat, but that's not an overall issue with this book. It's still an interesting mix of genres.
I'm looking forward to the conclusion

Very good, looking forward to reading the rest.
This thing is LONG, though kept my attention for the most part. Hard to describe the scope of it. There are a few places where I felt it was a wee bit predictable, but overall it avoided being too neat and tidy.

This one was fun. The protagonist Noemí is certainly not perfect, but very likeable and believable. The story itself is dark, and I really wasn't certain how it'd turn out in the end.
Having read two of Moreno-Garcia's books, I'm struck but how important color seems to be. Perhaps I'm imagining it, but colors representing certain things seems to be a common theme.

Watched the series, wanted to read the book. Ended up listening to the audiobook.
I enjoyed the HBO series, but the book is different enough so that things weren't spoiled.
A lot of fun, and the narrator is great

Solid story, kept me guessing. I'm a sucker for the "are they telling the truth, or are they crazy"-type stories.
Ending felt a bit forced, after all the build up.

Extraordinarily challenging. A lot to think about in this.

Nice to see some if the characters from the first 2 books meeting. A fun read, sort of predictable in parts but I still enjoyed it.

I really enjoyed this. The historical setting was unfamiliar to me, but it was written in an accessible way.
