review 1: Ah Raphael Santiago. I thought I'd always liked him enough when I was reading about him in The Mortal Instruments, and I suppose I understood his odd acquaintanceship with Magnus Bane. It was really nice to see some of his history. I was really impressed when I found out that he'd killed Louis Karstein, but was quite devastated over his fate on being a vampire. I suppose it was understandable that he became bitter and cynical, but I'm glad he eventually found an outlet by corralling the vampires as their leader. I loved how much he loved his family, and how dedicated he was when it came to seeing his mother again. I'd always wondered how a vampire like him could bear a cross, and now it was clear why and how he did it. I couldn't help laughing over Raphael and Magnus' bick... moreering, and although the matter of how Raphael charged into sacred ground, burning and screaming, should've been terrifying, the way it was described just made me laugh. It was also particularly funny when Raphael met Ragnor Fell and it was even more hilarious when they basically teamed up to make Magnus' life miserable. I also couldn't help but giggle at the scene where Raphael was sermoning the other vampires, who were probably older than him. It wasn't hard to imagine why he became the leader. The scene where he met his family again was very heartwarming, and Guadalupe seemed like a really loving mother. Raphael's love and dedication is truly admirable. Saving Raphael Santiago was such a wonderful read. And now I want more! :)
review 2: La verdad que al igual que todas las cronicas la historia empieza demasiado rapido sin ninguna explicacion introductiva, lo cual hace desabrida la lectura, en si ya suponia de q iba esta cronica,pero llego a gustarme porque conoci a este personaje Raphael cuando apenas era un adolescente e intensos sentimientos eran mas notables. Lo bueno es que no me decepcione esta vez de las cronicas ya que intercaladamente una me gusta y la siguiente no, pero esta muy bien elaborada este pequeño fragmento historico de los personajes de cazadores de sombras y espero que siga asi el ritmo. less
