Un libro único«La gran dibujante y contadora de historias que es Ilu Ros aborda ahora la vida y obra de Federico García Lorca. Su Federico está lleno de pasión, arte, vida y poesía. Un fino y riguroso trabajo documental que ilustra con su trazo libre, evocador, personalísimo. Una joya.»-Elvira Lindo «Sabemos mucho de él, pero ¿cómo imaginarnos a Federico? Haciendo que las palabras de sus labios regresen al interior de sus sentimientos y sus razones. Eso es lo que hace Ilu Ros. Propone una cita con García Lorca que es un diálogo generacional, una mirada del presente al pasado y del pasado al presente. La palabra hoy lleva en su interior un mundo ilustrado.»-Luis García Montero Federico solo hay uno. No le hacen falta apellidos. Un nombre que reconocen tanto niños como adultos, que suena a duende, a cante jondo y a romance popular, pero también a la vanguardia más rompedora. Un nombre que encarna la alegría y las sombras de España, la época más brillante de nuestra cultura desde la Edad de Oro, pero también la guerra y la vergüenza de un pueblo que nunca podrá perdonarse la muerte del poeta que más lo representaba. En este libro escuchamos las voces de aquellos que lo conocieron, desde su familia cercana hasta la legión de amigos y amigas que lo frecuentaron en sus años granadinos, en las juergas líricas de la Residencia de Estudiantes o a lo largo de su intensa vida literaria. Y, por supuesto, la suya propia: la del poeta, la del dramaturgo, la del conferenciante, con la claridad de unas ideas que hoy tienen la misma fuerza, y, por n, la voz desnuda del hijo, del hermano y del amante enamorado. Ilu Ros fusiona voces y palabras con sus ilustraciones, que nos arrastran como la magnética personalidad de Federico García Lorca: icono de generaciones pasadas, presentes y futuras. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION A unique book. "The great artist and storyteller Ilu Ros addresses the life and work of Federico García Lorca. Her Federico is full of passion, art, life, and poetry. It is a fine and rigorous documentary work, illustrated with her free, evocative, and very personal style. It's a jewel." --Elvira Lindo "We know much about him. But how do we create a picture of Federico? By making the words from his lips return to the depths of his emotions and motives. This is what Ilu Ros does. She schedules a date with García Lorca, a generational dialogue, an insight from the present to the past, and from the past to the present. The word 'today' carries an illustrated world inside." --Luis García Montero There is only one Federico. He doesn't need any last names. It is a name known to both children and adults alike. A name that carries the sound of duende, of cante jondo, of a romance of the people, but that is also at the most game-changing avantgarde. A name that embodies the joys and shadows of Spain, the most brilliant time in our culture since the golden age, as well as the war and the shame of a people that will never forgive itself for the death of its most distinctive poet. Within these pages we hear the voices of those who knew him, his closest relatives and the legion of friends that visited him during his years in Granada, in the lyric parties at the Students Residence, or throughout his intense literary life. And of course, his own voice, the voice of the poet, of the playwright, of the speaker, with ideas so clear, and just as strong today. It is the voice of the son, the brother, the lover. Ilu Ros blends voices and words with her illustrations, pulling at us just like Federico García Lorca's magnetic personality, icon of generations past, present, and future.

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.

OUTSTANDING
Format: Kindle
This was very, very good. The world is vast and characters are complex. There is a good plot with a whole lot going on. This is well written. Good twists and turns and some heart breaking moments. You will love these characters, they have heart and loyalty. I am hoping that there will be several more books. We've yet to see anything from the Sea Court but only a mention of them here and there. The Wood Court was given a quick couple of scenes, and only as far as some warriors, we've yet to enter their court and the Shadow Court, I'm not sure if they will be a force for good or bad, but they definitely will play a much bigger role moving forward. This is primarily the Ice and Air Courts. Told in multiple views, which I loved, it gives you a chance to see things from different eyes. There's alot of political maneuvering and deception. I loved it and will pick up the next book as it becomes available. If you like The Fae and the courts, you should love this. I think the author has mucn in store for us.

Definitely worth the read!
Format: Kindle
After taking a deep breath and taking in that wicked twist of an ending, I have finally composed myself. My first thought when I started this book was that I love Reyna's character. I was intrigued by her connection with her familiar and the Ruin that is plaguing her land. It came as no surprise that she took her sister's place in an attempt to protect her. When they reach the Air Court everything slows down. This is where it was iffy for me. First of all, I like multiple POV's in books however 7 is a bit much. It starts to interrupt the story line. I felt like I was finally making progress connecting with one character, then it was switched to another person. I felt they all had necessary or pertinent information but not necessarily were they all POV worthy. The only other thing that annoyed me was that Reyna constantly was " trapped." She would rush off without thinking, only to need rescuing. She is brilliant in a fight, but she really doesn't think through anything. Lorcan is amazing. I know he might be on the "bad" list, but his background is so interesting. Eislyn(Reyna's sister) is really so sweet, but calculating. I enjoyed her and Thane's dialogue. The author did an amazing job with the imagery in this book. Everything was so detailed it was easy to fall into the scene. I love unexpected twists and while part of the ending I expected, I wasn't expecting how it took place. All in all, I found it very entertaining and I am very invested in continuing this series.
Favorite quotes:
"The truth may be twisted but never false."
"Who was she if she was not the enemy of the Air Court? What was her purpose of she no longer has that?"
"In a war-torn land, love was always a lie."

Great Read!!! Great story!!!
Format: Kindle
The series is long, but Ms. Wolfhart does a fantastic job of weaving this tale while bringing so much to the characters. Surprises and plot twists along the way to keep you intrigued. There is some graphic sex, but is no way the focal point. Grammar was excellent (a rare find with a lot of self publishers) with only a few noted errors. I rarely give 4 stars, let alone 5.

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.
