Mi review de un maravilloso libro de una mente brillante en Amazon.
-------
After reading this book, a new scar appeared on the deepness of my skull; marking forever one of the best books I've ever read, taking this wonderful and macabre world of BasLag and its characters, into the place where the unforgettable is stored. Armada, an evolving ever-changing city, is a place where renegades find a place to live, an order to anarchy, but as any big city, it doesn't escape to the corruption of decadence.
This is an enthralling book, way better than Perdido Street Station, and that, is to say a lot. The characterization is superb. The geography of the place, the intricate politics, the magic of the vast ocean, the cacophony of its diverse ecology, takes you to a place that you have never seen before. Literary richness, The Scar is gold among the dirt of the superfluous market-oriented fiction available; worth of mining and deep study. This is not a fast paced book and as any good wine, it will need time in your mouth before you feel the satisfaction of a delicious and unique experience.
For those readers wanting something to read on the airplane, another soft cover to exchange on a hotel, this book is NOT for you. This novel will build, and build, and build, for the first couple of hundreds pages, and is your duty to pay attention to the details, because when the end is coming, you won't be able to stop reading, things will start happening FAST, and you will be spell bounded until the end of the book, its final momentum reaching with a strenuous explosion of revelation that will steal your breath.
