YesI came to know of this book because I started watching the tv show Witches of East End. The first thing I noticed is that it is a different story. Yes, it shares parts of it, but it is different, which is good. Second, it has a link to the "Blue Bloods" series, by the same author, which makes this a fantasy world I've visited before. The most interesting part are the witches and their different powers, each relatable to their character: Freya, the free spirited, is good for doing love spells; Ingrid, the rational one, makes spells that solve problems. Their abbilities come from who they are, and their strenght bursts from knowing this. ...more

Mi historia con este libro es larga y tortuosa: la primera vez que lo le铆 fue hace diez a帽os, en la universidad. Lo saqu茅 de la biblioteca y lo le铆 en pocos d铆as, sumida en el mundo 谩rabe que me ense帽aba. Durante d铆as so帽茅 con nazar铆es y alhambras, d谩tiles y agua de rosas. Esta novelizaci贸n de la vida de Boabdil, 煤ltimo se帽or de Granada antes de la reconquista espa帽ola, permite leer la historia de una manera entretenida e interesante. Gala logra que los personajes se conviertan en seres vivos de los que podemos conocer quienes son, c贸mo piensan y qu茅 desean, especialmente del mismo Boabdil, quien es nuestro narrador. Tiempo despu茅s quise volver a leer el libro y no lo pude encontrar y durante a帽os fue una obsesi贸n m铆a buscarlo en librer铆as normales o de viejo. Nada. Incluso, en alg煤n punto de la vida, olvide el nombre del libro, pero siempre record茅 de qu茅 trataba y recordaba la narraci贸n como si fuera una vieja historia de familia. El jueves pasado sal铆 temprano de trabajar y pasando por unas mesas donde vend铆an libros viejos me puse a ver que ten铆an y pens茅 "seguro tampoco tendr谩n aquel libro de Antonio Gala que hace mucho no he vuelto a ver" y terminando el pensamiento voltee la vista y... ah铆 estaba. Obviamente lo compr茅 y no s茅 que habr铆a hecho de no llevar dinero suficiente para hacerlo. De ah铆 me fui a casa y en el camino me fui leyendo sobre la Alhambra y los nazar铆es. Pas茅 el fin de semana leyendo y anoche, esta madrugada en realidad, volv铆 a terminarlo. Record茅 que as铆 son los buenos libros, te transportan a otro mundo, te dejan vivir en otros tiempos y lugares y cuando terminas de leerlos deseas que el viaje no termine nunca. ...more

I don't know if it will continue or not but I liked this book. It was exactly what I wanted to read... something sexy and entertaining. The Brotherhood house is officially the place to live if you want to find a "mate" for life and it has to be as big as the Louvre to have all this people living there including servants and visitors. The thing I liked the most about this one was the Quinn-Blay relationship and the fact that J.R. Ward gave their relationship enough layers to be believable and drama to be good. Qhuinn and his idea of self was an interesting theme: how does a guy that has never accepted himself learn to live and love. I could have live without the Trez and Assail stories but I guess they imply some sort of coming books. Also I hope that Havers gets his time for being such a wuss....more
