From a long time ago I wanted to read something from Laura Gallego and a friend of mine who is a big fan of her left me a book to read: "The Imperatrix of the Ethereal". The truth is that when I finished this book I had many doubts with the rating, I wasn't sure if I had to give it 4 or 3 stars but finally, I decided to give it 3 stars but I think that is 3.5 stars. I will try to explain the reason. During the first pages, I got totally charmed with the story, I got incredibly fast immersed in this strange world between fantasy and post-apocalyptic world. Bipa's character seemed interesting, especially for her contrast between the second most important character, Aer. But the reading spell was broken in the middle of the book. Suddenly the adventurous and fantasy story I thought it became extremely predictable with a trip itinerary that looked more like a board game than a real adventure. I think the author should risk much more with the character experiences because when the plot becomes too predictable, the reader starts to get bored, and the book I thought I could compare to "The Hobbit" became a "child tale". So to be honest, I am not 100% satisfied with the novel, although I must say that Laura Gallego has something powerful in his stories, which is her great imagination.

Spanish version:
Desde hacía tiempo que tenía ganas de leer algo de Laura Gallego y una amiga que es muy fan de ella me dejó un libro para leer, "La Emperatrix de los Etéreos". La verdad que he tenido muchas dudas en como puntuar este libro, todo el rato he estado indeciso de si le ponía un 4 o un 3, al final me he decidido por el 3, os explicaré el motivo. Al principio el libro me hechizó, me sumergió increiblemente rápido en este extraño mundo entre fantasioso y post-apocalíptico. El personaje de Bipa me pareció interesante y más cuando se contrarestaba con el segundo personaje más importante, Aer. Pero el hechizo se rompió al mitad del libro. De repente la histora que creía llena de aventuras se convirtió en un viaje extremadamente previsible y con un intinerario que más bien parecía un juego de mesa. Creo que la autora arriesgó poco y el personaje vive lo que el lector espera que va a vivir, no sucede nada que te inquiete ni nada que trunque sus planes, así que poco a poco empezé a aburrirme y a pensar que el libro que creía que seria un nuevo "Hobbit" resultaba ser un cuento más que infantil. Así que sintiéndolo mucho no estoy 100% satisfecho con el libro, aunque tengo que decir que Laura Gallego tiene algo poderoso en sus historias, que es la gran dosis de imaginación.
