review 1: Mystic City es un buen libro, sin embargo, el autor cae en el error -típico- de crear un mundo distópico/fantástico original y fascinante, solo para dejarlo en segundo plano y centrarse en el romance de la historia. Algo absurdo y que me molestó del libro es que la protagonista, Aria, es incapaz de resolver un enigma que yo ya había diseccionado desde el inicio del libro (es que esta chica debe ser retrasada o algo). Los personajes me agradaron, aunque no pude evitar sentir que cada uno de ellos caía en un cliché, en caracteres que he leído en varias historias juveniles. Mystic City se desarrollad de forma lenta y monótona y bueno, trae algunas sorprendas (no inesperadas). Le doy 3 stars porque me entretuvo, me gusto bastante la prosa de Teo y el New York sumergid... moreo bajo en el agua que se plantea me pareció alucinante. ¿Seguiré con la trilogía? No lo decido aún.
review 2: A very interesting start.I have but 1 complaint:The book was predictable as heck. Seriously. I closed the book and thought to myself "Huh. Nothing was really surprising". This is another book about star-crossed lovers. Now, you don't like the whole cheesy, romantic stuff, then this probably isn't the book for you. I found that a lot of the book was about Aria and her love problems. I don't know how I really feel about Aria. She was a very predictable character.The rest was all about the uprising and getting those people in the depths some equality. Oh, then there were little parts about the spoiled upper-class and how separation is either really good or really bad. Because apparently they don't have problems with the way that the mystics and poor people are being treated.This novel kept my attention and I wanted to keep reading. But, it kind of feels like your typical dystopia novel. Basically, if "Black City" and "Slated" had a baby, "Mystic City" would be the name.Not that bad, but predictable. I enjoyed it though. less
