LA NOVELA GANADORA DEL PREMIO ALFAGUARA 2025

«La cuidadosa construcción de un deterioro que, aunque transcurra en un país específico, acaba por ser una metáfora distorsionada del espíritu de nuestro tiempo». -Del acta del Jurado

Los Esterházy, una pareja excéntrica sin un pasado claro, llegan a un pueblo de la costa argentina y comienzan a regentar un antiguo hotel. Estos dos seres (y sus dos hijos, una niña y un niño más inquietantes y enigmáticos que ellos) producen el efecto de una partícula enfermiza que se introduce en las grietas de una sociedad pequeña y arrasa con su dinámica cotidiana, aparentemente calma. La pareja resulta ser un amplificador de los prejuicios, los deseos ocultos, las supersticiones, los temores y la violencia larvada en muchos de los habitantes del pueblo.

Arderá el viento es la historia de una degradación, de un descascaramiento agónico que poco a poco deja a la vista las miserias del cuerpo social. Expuesta al influjo de los Esterházy, la extraña villa costera deja aflorar la oscuridad que circula por sus zonas subterráneas, como si los visitantes fueran una piedra de toque maligna que lograra sacar a la luz la verdadera naturaleza de los personajes.

Escrita en un estilo parco y de una rara intensidad, la novela es la cuidadosa construcción de un deterioro que, aunque transcurra en un país específico, acaba por ser una metáfora distorsionada del espíritu de nuestro tiempo.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

Winning novel of the Premio Alfaguara de Novela 2025

"The carefully constructed narrative of a deterioration that, while unfolding in a specific country, ultimately serves as a distorted metaphor for the spirit of our times." --Statement from the Jury

The Esterházys, an eccentric couple with an unclear past, arrive in a coastal town in Argentina and take over the management of an old hotel. These two individuals (along with their two children--a girl and a boy even more unsettling and enigmatic than their parents) create the effect of a toxic speck infiltrating the cracks of a small community and disrupting its seemingly calm daily dynamics. The couple acts as an amplifier for the prejudices, hidden desires, superstitions, fears, and latent violence within many of the town's inhabitants.

Arderá el viento /The Wind Will Blaze is the story of a slow unraveling and an agonizing peeling away that gradually reveals society's miseries. Under the Esterházys' influence, the strange coastal village slowly begins to expose the darkness flowing through its undercurrents, as if the new family was a malign pebble capable of bringing the true nature of its residents to light.

Written in a sober yet intensely evocative style, the novel is a meticulous depiction of a deterioration that, though rooted in a specific country, ultimately serves as a distorted metaphor for the spirit of our times.

A Beta Worth Rooting For
Format: Kindle
In Spare, Violet Fox flips the omegaverse on its head, giving us a Beta heroine determined to make her mark. Joining the Beta Trials to support her sick father, she's thrown into a pack that doesn't want her, especially the possessive Alphas. But here's the twist: their sweet Omega turns out to be her scent match. Cue the angst, forbidden tension, and a slow-burn romance that will make your heart ache in the best way. Violet Fox delivers an emotional, refreshing take on the genre, proving Betas aren't "spares." They're stars.

Beta, Alpha, Omega oh my!
Format: Kindle
Omegas are precious and given to Alphas & their packs... but the Betas want in too. To this end, the Beta government is rolling out its trial of assigning a Beta to each Alpha-Omega pack. But forcing a Beta into a pack where they are not wanted will not end well... Of course, no one expected the Omega to fall for the assigned Beta. Great read and cliffhanger

A familiar story, just with…..less.
Format: Kindle
So, as other reviewers make clear, this is very similar to Pack Darling and The Beta. It’s much closer aligned with The Beta, in plot and maybe more like Pack Darling with characters. That being said, I don’t hate this…..but it wasn’t great either. It’s both books mentioned but just….less. Less angst, less emotion, less feeling. The plot feels very half fleshed out, and the “bad guy” feels underwhelming. I didn’t really feel any real emotions from and of the male leads, except maybe Oliver. The others fell sorta flat for me. And Mika makes herself out to be this big bad ass straight outta training and then we never see it from here again with the one fitting room incident as the exception. SPOILER: The whole, “Oh, I’m actually probably an Omega, but I don’t wanna be but I do actually wanna be but no one can ever know my secret that I do nothing to hide “ thing fell so flat. She never commutes to believing she was secretly an omega, but also mentions her “secret” a lot. It just felt so manufactured. I’m intrigued enough to read part 2 and see how the author closes everything out, but this is not one I’ll recommend or ever come back to.

Good start to a series
Format: Kindle
I delayed reading the series for reasons I don’t remember. But my TBR list is huge so I thought I’d take a shot of this and I was pleasantly surprised. I didn’t think the blurb about it was anything special. But it was a very good book. It took some interesting twists and turns. I am so glad the second book is already out. Because I would not have waited patiently. Very slow burn but good storyline. 🔥🔥/5

A good read
Format: Kindle
Multiple points of view. 3 Alpha men and an Omega male. She is a Beta in training for a new program placing betas in Alpha/Omega packs. Mila is only doing the program for the money to take care of her dad. She wasn't expecting to fall for a pack but when she sees this packs Omega she is done for. There is just something about him. His Alphas are good looking as well. Too bad she is hiding a secret and their government is acting shady. I liked it and can't wait to see where their story goes.
