This series keeps getting better with each book, this definitely felt like a lot more of a time trial than the heists I'm used to, and it felt really refreshing. There's a lot more intrigue here, with the wit and humour, giving something that feels very layered. I had a phenomenal time with this, and would highly recommend it if you pick up any of the series, this displays what the Lupin novels are to a tee, bringing a lot of extra mystery along with it.

El libro y el trama es interesante, aunque al inicio se me hizo algo pesado pero ya después no pude parar, mi único pero es que hubo algo que no tuvo sentido para mí después del último libro.

Primera novela de Arsène Lupin, la encontré por casualidad y quería ver al personaje que dio origen a la idea del Caballero Ladrón. 

Me gustó bastante, casi 5 ⭐️. La razón para esto es que el villano, Alexis Daubrecq,

se 💀 cuando pierde la partida con Lupin. Hubiera quedado mejor que lo mostrarán mendigando ppr la calle o trabajando como fenómeno de circo.

 

Por lo demás es una aventura entretenida, amena y pasa el rato fácilmente. Lupin es un personaje de temple e ingenio admirable.
