Reviewers widely praise this novel for injecting a refreshing and modern perspective into Asturian literature, moving beyond traditional themes. The book is lauded for its captivating world-building, seamlessly blending traditional magic and ancient myths with high medieval Asturian history. Readers highlighted the engaging and fast-paced narrative, which manages to pack a wealth of content into a concise format. The story features a strong protagonist whose journey offers a fantastic reinterpretation of early Asturian history, exploring themes of power, identity, and the clash between old and new beliefs. Many appreciate the deep love for Asturian culture, history, and mythology evident throughout the pages, making it an enjoyable and surprising adventure for those interested in the region's heritage.
While overwhelmingly positive, a minor point raised by one reviewer was a historical inaccuracy concerning the timeline of the Caliphate in relation to the era depicted, though this was ultimately deemed forgivable given the book's fantastical nature. Additionally, due to some mature themes, the book is not recommended for very young children, suggesting it is better suited for an adolescent and adult audience.
Overall, the book is highly recommended as a wonderful and surprising read that successfully transports readers to the time of King Pelayo, filled with adventure and fantasy. It is considered a significant contribution to Asturian fantasy literature, offering an innovative and exciting local fantasy world. Readers who enjoy the fantasy genre, historical fiction with a mythical twist, and stories centered on strong female characters will likely find this book particularly appealing. It is an agile, emotional, and very entertaining read that offers a fresh take on beloved myths and is easy to understand, promising a fun and memorable experience.
