ellanorte's review against another edition

emotional reflective sad slow-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? A mix
• Strong character development? Yes
• Loveable characters? Yes
• Diverse cast of characters? N/A
• Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

4.5

La isla de las mujeres del mar es una novela sobre amistad, mujeres, sororidad. Sobre dolor, guerra y muerte. Lee despacio este libro porque cuesta digerir. De las lecturas que más me han calado este 2021. 

Si tengo que ponerle un pequeño contra es el final, que me ha parecido muy precipitado.
