"Hay gente que, al escoger su deber, escoge también su destino."

Después del éxito de Las frases robadas, José Luis Sastre vuelve con un relato emocionante sobre quienes asumen su deber al precio de pagarlo con sus vidas.

Consciente de que se juega su propia vida, un policía asume la escolta de una concejala amenazada de muerte. El cerco terrorista se estrecha sobre ella mientras él, que tiene la certeza de que los van a matar, se resiste a abandonar la misión, aferrado a su sentido del deber y convencido de que tiene sentido arriesgarse a cambio de que otra persona pueda defender su libertad.

¿Cuánto vale una vida? ¿Hasta dónde estamos dispuestos a renunciar para defender un ideal?

Después del éxito de Las frases robadas, José Luis Sastre vuelve a hacer gala de su estilo emocionante y directo con una novela que narra el valor de aquellos que, durante los peores años del plomo y desde el anonimato, se enfrentaron al silencio y a la injusticia al precio de que los secuestraran o los asesinaran.

Esta es la historia de quienes, como escribe Sastre, al escoger su deber escogieron también su destino.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

"There are people who, when choosing their duty, also choose their destiny."

After the success of Stolen Phrases, José Luis Sastre returns with a moving story about those who assume their duty at the cost of paying for it with their lives.

Aware that he risks his own life, a police officer takes on the task of escorting a councilwoman who has received death threats. The terrorist net closes in on her while he, certain that they will be killed, refuses to abandon the mission, clinging to his sense of duty, convinced that it makes sense to take the risk in exchange for someone else being able to defend their freedom.

How much is a life worth? How far are we willing to go to defend an ideal?

After the success of Stolen Phrases, José Luis Sastre once again displays his exciting and direct style with a novel that narrates the courage of those who, during the worst years of the dictatorship, and from anonymity, confronted silence and injustice at the price of being kidnapped or murdered.

This is the story of those who, as Sastre writes, by choosing their duty also chose their destiny.

Sadly, DNF
Format: Kindle
I read this thru KU. I LOVED the synopsis. And then I began reading... and it was a DNF at 68% after picking it up and putting it down several times because I really loved the main female character. *****SPOILERS***** Pros: The world is unique, intriguing and fun. The primary female character is bad-a** but not a b*tech or a mary sue. The primary female has depth. I really want to know what happens to her even tho it's been weeks and I don't remember her name. The villains to the point I read are pretty good -- an ever present threat of mysterious and possibly many culprits. Cons: Way, way too many points of view. I stopped counting at 7. It's the prime reason why I don't care about most of the characters or remember their names even when I like them. There's just too many points of view so almost none of the characters have enough book space for the author to properly develop them. This literally killed the book for me. Actually it killed my desire to read. For weeks. The main male is more villain than hero. He agreed to marry the main female then locks her up & eschews her for her sister, all while bad mouthing her as unfit to rule when he never spent any time with her getting to know her. He is actually unfit to rule as he is blind to the woes of his own kingdom and starts off a peace mission to secure a ceasefire through marriage by murdering an inn full of people in her country for no real reason. Plus, he constantly makes promises he does not keep. And it's gross of him to pine for the sister behind the main female's back. ***** As much as I really wanted to see what happened to the main female character, it wasn't enough for me to keep trying to slog thru this book. There was a lot of potential here that just fell short. Hence, 3 stars.

Fae Courts with High Intrigue
Format: Kindle
This book is one that just builds and builds and then surprises you to no end. You may think you know the villains and then you are jolted in another direction. Princess Reyna is a real gem, strong of character, a fierce fighter, and loyal to her family and kingdom. Just when you think she and Lorcan, well you know, the plot is flipped. Can't wait to see where this goes in book two.

Slow, sorry but good
Format: Kindle
This was a slow moving book. Lots of character pov chapters, lots of superfluous descriptions and endless courtly appearances stalled this book to start. Once you get into the heart of the story, it takes off. Before you know it the book is done. My favorite character is Reyna. She is so strong. She is true to herself. She gets into a lot of trouble with her headstrong ways but it's entertaining. I have high hopes for Lorcan. He is honorable to a fault. Thane had turned out to be better than I thought but i still don't like him. Eislin is useless. Great plot twists at the end. I'm looking forward too book 2.

Very detailed! Beautiful world building! Strong Heroine!
Format: Kindle
Starts off a little slow and confusing with different POV’s, but starts to all come together towards the middle to make an elaborate plot line and makes it all worth it. Beautiful world building and attention to detail as well as great writing. The cliffhanger was gut wrenching! Can’t wait for the next book!

Interesting
Format: Kindle
This was a very captivating book once you got into it thoroughly. But the third person perspective was a bit hard to get used to. But as you got into it and followed the different characters, it was interesting and filled with intrigue, conflict and forbidden love. I can’t wait to read the next one and to complete the series.
