UNA NOVELA TOTAL SOBRE LA GUERRA CIVIL ESPAÑOLA EN CLAVE DE REALISMO MÁGICO

He aquí la historia de la descomposición total de una familia, de la deshumanización de un pueblo, de la desintegración de un territorio y de una península de casas vacías.

La historia de un soldado que se raja la piel para dejar salir la ceniza acumulada, de un poeta que cose la sombra de una niña tras un bombardeo, y de un maestro que enseña a sus alumnos a hacerse los muertos; de un general que duerme junto a la mano cortada de una santa, de un niño ciego que recupera la vista durante un apagón, y de una campesina que pinta de negro todos los árboles de su huerto; de un fotógrafo extranjero que pisa una mina cerca de Brunete y no levanta el pie en cuarenta años, de un gernikarra que conduce hasta el centro de París una camioneta con los restos humeantes de un ataque aéreo, y de un perro herido cuya sangre teñirá la última franja de una bandera abandonada en Badajoz.

He aquí pues la historia total de la Guerra Civil española y de una Iberia agonizante donde lo fantástico apuntala la crudeza de lo real; donde los anónimos miembros de un extenso clan de olivareros de Jándula cruzan sus destinos con los de Alberti, Lorca y Unamuno; Rodoreda, Zambrano y Kent; Hemingway, Orwell y Bernanos; Picasso y Mallo; Azaña y Foxá; donde lo épico y lo costumbrista se entrelazan para tejer un portentoso tapiz, poético y grotesco, bello y delirante.

«Con una prosa imprevista, tan original como desacomplejada, David Uclés es un auténtico soplo de aire fresco en las letras españolas». - Pablo Martín Sánchez

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

A NOVEL ABOUT THE SPANISH CIVIL WAR WRITTEN IN THE KEY OF MAGICAL REALISM

This is the story of the total breakdown of a family, the dehumanization of a people, the disintegration of a territory, and a peninsula of empty houses.

The story of a soldier who cuts his skin to let out the accumulated ash, of a poet who sews the shadow of a girl after a bombing, and of a teacher who teaches his students to play dead; of a general who sleeps next to the severed hand of a saint, of a blind boy who regains his sight during a blackout, and of a peasant woman who paints all the trees in her orchard black; of a foreign photographer who steps on a mine near Brunete and does not lift his foot for forty years, of a man from Gernika who drives a truck with the smoldering remains of an air raid to the center of Paris, and of a wounded dog whose blood will stain the last strip of a flag abandoned in Badajoz.

Here, then, is the complete history of the Spanish Civil War and of a dying Iberia where the fantastic underpins the harshness of reality; where the anonymous members of a large clan of olive growers from Jándula cross paths with Alberti, Lorca, and Unamuno; Rodoreda, Zambrano, and Kent; Hemingway, Orwell, and Bernanos; Picasso and Mallo; Azaña and Foxá; where the epic and the traditional intertwine to weave a portentous tapestry, poetic and grotesque, beautiful and delirious.

"With his unexpected prose, as original as it is uninhibited, David Uclés is a real breath of fresh air in Spanish literature." - Pablo Martín Sánchez

Has Potential, Poorly Executed
Format: Kindle
I really really wanted to enjoy this book and was looking forward to reading it. However there were just one too many convoluted plot points, sentences just did not flow nicely at times, and I was left with a lot of confusion on my end. I think it has the bones of being a great story but seems like it was rushed and I had to push myself to finish the last of the book and was left with an unsatisfying ending. It’s definitely different from other omegaverse novels I’ve read but not for good reasons. I really think it could be great but needs some serious tweaking and editing before I’d read it again.

Secrets, Seduction, and Rockstars!
Format: Kindle
Rockstars, secrets, and off-the-charts chemistry? Sign me up! Cinder Blaze takes us on a rollercoaster of passion and peril with Knot Their Omega. Blair Vesper, a secret Omega masquerading as an Alpha, strikes a risky deal to tour with Blooming Salvation, a band teetering on the edge of chaos. Enter Icarus Morrigan, the enigmatic manager, and his three complicated and irresistibly sexy rockstars: wild Kenji, icy Kaiser, and fiery Nathaniel. This book delivers steamy Omegaverse drama, sizzling slow-burn romance, and just the right dash of angst. The tension between Blair and the band crackles like electricity onstage, while the societal stakes add depth to the spicy dynamics. Short, sharp, and oh-so-sinful Knot Their Omega will have you hooked from the first note!

Addicting!
Format: Kindle
I could not stop reading. It was so refreshing to have a series start so completely different than most fated mates/fantasy academy rh I’ve been reading. From the desert scenery to the magic and feeding plus the psychological trauma the characters are there to deal with. Pandora is absolutely adorable and I totally relate to hiding behind my hair. I love that she’s literally the most scary type of demon but it’s not the usual “badass mc” persona (which I do love a badass that can fend for herself and kick ass from the start but it was a nice change of pace). I’m not usually a big fan of bully within the harem but each character has their reasons for their actions and also conflicting feelings about them. I adore Dex and Reed! Complete opposites but their personalities and inner monologues made them instant favs. I can’t wait to see the character growth with the guys and continued strength for Pandora. The captivating characters and references to the Fate Hallow series added so much depth and now I need another reread while I wait for book 2. The concept of magic and the unique feeding habits of the demon characters were intriguing. I can't wait for the next book to continue this thrilling journey. In summary, this book is a must-read for fantasy and magic academy rh fans. With its enchanting characters, nods to the Fate Hallow series, and imaginative concepts, it offers an immersive reading experience that hwill leave you craving for more.

Best academy I've read this year
Format: Kindle
I need a few things when it comes to a first book of a PNR romance series 1-Good world building (which this totally did) 2-An FMC I can root for (oh hell yes, Pandora is someone I can cheer for) 3-Good drama (can you say GROVEL BOYS!) 4-Enough story to make you feel like you really read something with meat (you saw this book is like 600 pages, yeah?) 5-A hook at the end so I want more! (please, Lyra, gimmie more?!? I need more!!) Be aware this book is a slow burn, but damn do I feel like there'll be some big payoff when it finally happens. Who doesn't like the buildup?

Pandora’s Pain, Power, and Passion
Format: Kindle
I absolutely love this new world Lyra Winters has created! The spin on a Demon Academy setting was fresh, unique, and completely addictive. Pandora is a character who immediately captured my heart. Thought to be powerless and enduring years of brutal abuse from her mother, it’s no surprise that her powers emerge at the exact moment she needs them most. After her mother’s death, Pandora discovers her father is none other than Death himself, a soul eater with a dark legacy. Her journey at the academy is anything but easy, filled with challenges tied to her father’s infamous reputation, her barely controlled abilities, and the cruelty of those around her. Pandora is easy to root for, you feel every ounce of her pain, resilience, and growth. Along the way she meets Reed, a half-human dream demon who’s kind, steady, and the kind of friend everyone wishes they had. There’s also Hunter, a vengeance demon and counselor connected to her father, who adds another intriguing layer to her story. Then there are the bullies: Dexter, a brooding shadow demon; Bram, a chaos demon with a drinking problem and deep hatred for demon nobility; and Skel, a fear demon wrestling with his own darkness. They might hurt her, but they also can’t seem to stay away when she’s in danger, making for some deliciously complicated dynamics. This book hits so many of my favorite tropes: friends to lovers, enemies to lovers, and of course, the irresistible “who hurt you?” storyline. I devoured it, and I’m already diving straight into book two!
