pickYes it was an epic masterpiece but it was also just a bit too much. There is only so much cruelty I can take with the racism, classism, feudal systems of oppression, religious oppression, treatment of women, and the brutality of the Inquisition. It‘s an amazing read but I was racing just to get it over with.
How is your read?

so-soComo tal es una buena historia basada en hechos reales. Pero el libro es mayormente aburrido y pienso que necesitaba ser mucho más editado antes de publicarlo. No se niega que aprendí muchas cosas de WW2 que no conocía y en sí, la historia fue interesante. Un libro ideal para alguien interesado en historia y hechos reales. No es buena opción para un lector que prefiere romance.
pickMaurice Druon‘s novels have proven quite zippy for me, relatively speaking. Although I‘m reading them in my second language, they are quite short (250ish pages including historical notes) and the story moves quickly. I don‘t know much French history so I‘m learning a lot.
Volume 2 from the Little Free Library today and volume 3 from HPB. Ah gee, now I have to find matching volume 1
pickI think the last book of this year...
A good story. May be the best after the first volume.
Merry Christmas!! 🌲

so-soOur April Cheers to 2023 book club book... This one had been lingering on my TBR list for a while! I have some mixed feelings about this book, and for me, it was a bit of a roller coaster ride. There were times that I absolutely loved it, and times I really struggled. I'm not sure if that is because this was originally written in Spanish and translated or not, but it just didn't have a seamless flow for me. This is a sweeping (cont in comments)..
En sus años de vagabundo había aprendido varias cosas ciertas: sabía que el pueblo no vive levantando la vista hacia las estrellas, sino que se conforma con mirar al suelo, o que los poderosos siempre gobiernan para sí, y solo piensan en el débil cuando el descontento hace peligrar sus privilegios.
