Primero que nada quiero agradecer a Damaris de Good Choice Reading quien, para mi sorpresa, me regalo este libro hace unas semanas, incluso lo mando hasta acá!!! Muchas gracias Dee!!!
Les cuento, leí la reseña de Dee de Black City en Goodreads, la cual pueden leer en este link, You can read it here... , y tan pronto como la leí, me emocione mucho por este libro, Dee siempre hace reseñas muy honestas, asi que es fácil confiar en su criterio, y bueno pues me lo regaló, así que Gracias!!
Ahora a los negocios. Normalmente no me siento atraida por libros post apocalipticos, pero recientemente he estado leyendo algunos que me han gustado bastante, así que gustosa le di una oportunidad a Black City, que tiene un poco de todo, es post apocaliptico, pero tambien tiene vampirismo, al cual trata como una enfermedad, cosa que encuentro sumamente razonable,y debo decir que fue un excelente libro. Además el romance ufff sensacional.
El siguiente blurb lo copie de la página de la escritora del libro, la traducción al español la hice yo Elizabeth Richards :
Una obscura y tierna post apocalíptica historia de amor, situada en las sobras dejadas por una guerra sangrienta.
En una ciudad donde los humanos y Darklings ahora están separados por un muro y las tensiones entre las dos razas se cocinan a fuego lento después de una guerra terrible, Ash Fisher, un mestizo Darkling y Natalie Buchanan, un ser humano y la hija del emisario, se conocen y hacen lo impensable - se enamoran.
Unidos por una misteriosa conexión, que hace que el corazón de Ash, eternamente dormido, comienze a latir, Ash y Natalie primero niegan esta atracción que va mucho más allá de lo físico, y lucharán contra sus sentimientos,ya que saben que si dejan estos sentimientos crecer y son descubiertos, serian ejecutados publicamente, pero eso no impide que sus sentimientos se hagan cada vez mas fuertes.
Ash y Natalie se encuentrán en el centro de una conspiración mortal que amenaza con llevar a los seres humanos y Darklings de nuevo a la guerra, tienen que tomar decisiones difíciles que pueden resultar en la muerte de ambos.
Elizabeth Richards, nos lleva en un viaje a un mundo devastado por guerras y enfermedades. Pobreza, hambre, enfermedad y obscuridad rodea a esta ciudad, en donde el amor era imposible de florecer y aun asi, lo hizo.
Mientras leía este libro, me imaginé en un mundo obscuro, lleno de polvo, edificios destruidos, casi nada de luz solar por la contaminación, inseguridad, gente mala y malos gobiernos; y me di cuenta que desafortunadamente no estamos tan lejos de eso; Elizabeth Richards escribió fantasía, pero también realidad. Discriminación y segregación, son cosas que pasan y han pasado por años, y esa es la maravilla de este libro, te hace pensar, te hace preguntarte que mas puedes hacer para ser una mejor persona. Y por eso amé este libro, me encanta cuando un escritor me hace ir mas allá de lo que está escrito y me enseña algo.
Así que Fe, es una de las lecciones, nunca perder la fe y nunca dejar de luchar por lo que es justo.
Ash y Natalie hacen una pareja perfecta, los dos son protectores, cuidan a sus seres queridos, los dos tienen grandes temores y se sienten muy solos, lo mas importante es que ninguno de los dos es perfecto, lo que tiene mucho sentido en un mundo imperfecto.
Natalie es como una niña consentida, a pesar de las duras situaciones por las que ha pasado, aun no se ha dado cuenta de lo dificil que es la vida para aquellos que no son hijas del emisario de la ciudad, pero ella aprendera de una manera dificil, que l avida no es sencilla para todos los demás.
Ash tiene todo lo que me gusta en un personaje masculino, en el rol principal, es como el chico malo, la mala influencia, pero que en el fondo es un alma buena, se siente solo y aún no se ha dado cuenta la fuerza en su interior.
Todos los demás personajes estan muy bien escritos, sin medias tintas o los amas o los odias.
Llorarás, tendras temor, te enamorarás y al final estaras muriendo por leer la secuela.
Lo recomiendo totalmente.
PS. El libro aun no ha sido publicado en español, pero tengamos esperanzas de que si salga.
Crazy Book Cats, para Black City!!!
Disfruten su lectura!!

Black City by Elizabeth Richards, ARC Review.
First of all I want to thank so much Damaris of Good Choice Reading who lend me this book a couple a weeks ago, she even send it all the way here!!! Thank you Dee promise I'll send it back asap.
I'll tell you the story, I read Dee's review of Black City on Goodreads You can read it here... , and as soon as I read that review I was all excited about this book, Dee is a very honest reviewer, so I trust her judgment, and then as a very good friend she lend it to me!! so THANKS!!
Now lets do business. I am not ususally drag into post-apocalyctic or dystopian books, but recently I've been reading a lot of them, so I'm kind of starting liking the gender. And Black City was an excelent dystopian book.
Here I'll leave you the blurb of Black City, taked from the author's webpage Elizabeth Richards :
A dark and tender post-apocalyptic love story set in the aftermath of a bloody war
In a city where humans and Darklings are now separated by a high wall and tensions between the two races still simmer after a terrible war, sixteen-year-olds Ash Fisher, a half-blood Darkling, and Natalie Buchanan, a human and the daughter of the Emissary, meet and do the unthinkable — they fall in love.
Bonded by a mysterious connection, that causes Ash's long dormant heart to beat, Ash and Natalie first deny and then struggle to fight their forbidden feelings for each other, knowing if they're caught they'll be executed —but their feelings are too strong.
When Ash and Natalie then find themselves at the center of a deadly conspiracy that threatens to pull the humans and Darklings back into war, they must make hard choices that could result in both their deaths.
Elizabeth Richards take us in a journey to a world devastated by war and viruses. Poorness, hunger, sickness and darkness are all around this city, in which love was impossible to grow, and yet it did.
While reading this book I imagine myself in a dark world, with dust, destroyed buildings, almost no sunshine, insecurity, mean people, bad goverments; and I realized, that unfortunatelly we are not so far away from this; yes Elizabeth Richards wrote fantasy, and yet wrote reality. Discrimination, segregation are things that happen and that have been happening for ages, and so this is the amazing of this book, it makes you think, it makes you wonder what else can you do to be a better person. I loved this book, I love when an author makes me go beyond what is written, and think about how can the story teach me something.
So faith is one of the lessons, never loose faith and never stop fighting for justice and fairness.
Ash and Natalie, make a perfect couple, they both are protectors, they take care of the ones they love, they both have fears, but most important neither of them are perfect, which makes perfect sense in a such unperfect world.
Natalie is kind of a spoiled child, even the hard events she has been through, she has not notice yet how hard the life is for the ones, that does not have an emmisary as a mother, she will learn it and grow up.
Ash has all the thing I love in a male mc, he is not good, not evil, he is the bad guy, but he loves his family and friends, and he feels lonely, and hasen't realized how strong he really is.
All the characters are well written and you get to know them pretty well, and you will hate them or love them.
You will cry, will feel fear, will fall in love and in the end, you will be dying the read the sequel.
I totally recommend you this book.
Crazy Book Cats, for Black City!!!
Enjoy your reading!!
