A fairly unique setting—dystopian Navajo lands isolated from a world almost totally destroyed by flooding. Some interesting characters—humans who manifest archetypal powers of their clans, immortals such as Coyote and Neizghání.
However, the plot was only so-so. It started quite well, but then devolved into an ending that was only half-explained and half-resolved. It felt like the author suddenly started rushing rather than continuing the nice pace of the first ninety percent of the story. Subsequent volumes may flesh it out, but it left this first in the series wanting.… (altro)

Tiene muy buen ritmo, me ha enganchado con facilidad y le he cogido cariño a los personajes. La ambientación me ha encantado, y tiene mucha facilidad para crearte imágenes mentales de los escenarios y las situaciones. Pero hay un par de cosas, sobretodo hacia el final, que no me han convencido.
Aún así, tengo ganas del segundo y de ver como evoluciona la historia de Maggie.
