VUELVE EL AUTOR DE 14 DE ABRIL Y EL PEÓN, PREMIO CÁLAMO Y NOMINADO AL MEJOR LIBRO EXTRANJERO DE FRANCIA. España, 1939. Once días y sus diez noches. Un viaje de 467 km al corazón de nuestras tinieblas. 'Un retrato coral, riguroso, hiperliterario y distinto -por momentos aterrador, por momentos emocionante- de una España en harapos: así empezó una dictadura eterna. Un libro excelente'.Javier Cercas La guerra ha terminado. España está en ruinas. En el cementerio de Alicante exhuman los restos de José Antonio Primo de Rivera. Sus camaradas falangistas van a llevarlo a hombros hasta enterrarlo en El Escorial, morada de reyes, sepulcro imperial. Durante once días y diez noches, el cortejo fantasmagórico avanzará por pueblos y ciudades entre hogueras, escarcha, brazos enhiestos y propaganda: una epopeya fascista de 467 kilómetros para demostrar quién manda en la nueva España. Sin embargo, la guerra no ha terminado. Una memoria se está construyendo y otra memoria se quiere borrar. En esos días crudos del otoño de 1939, miles de vidas humildes sufren la zarpa de la represión. Presos, fusilados, exiliados, trabajadores forzados, internos en campos de concentración, maestros depurados, vencedores desgraciados para siempre. El régimen trata de esconderlos. Pero ahí están: presentes. Paco Cerdà, que trazó el rostro humano del 14 de abril, compone una vibrante sinfonía de posguerra. Con un coro de voces olvidadas por la Historia. Con el delirio megalómano de un mito ?José Antonio? al servicio de su amo: Franco. Presentes es un viaje al corazón de nuestras tinieblas. El conmovedor relato de quienes soñaron unos ideales jamás enterrados.La crítica ha dicho:'No hace falta inventar nada para levantar un mundo. En Presentes, con erudición y vehemencia, Paco Cerdà convoca una galería de fantasmas reales que habitan en la negrura de la primera postguerra'.Antonio Muñoz Molina 'Me ha conmocionado'.Carles Francino, La Ventana (Cadena Ser) 'Pocos acontecimientos en la historia contemporánea de España superan en majestuosidad al que nos cuenta este libro. Paco Cerdà es el maestro relojero de la Memoria: disecciona el tiempo, lo expande. Nos otorga el don de la ubicuidad para jalonar el más épico y siniestro de los cortejos con las voces íntimas de esa otra España condenada a sobrevivir entre las sombras'.Paco Roca 'Cerdà se consagra como un maestro de la no ficción [...] con una poderosa prosa escoltada por un exhaustivo trabajo de documentación, al modo de Antonio Scurati con Mussolini o de Éric Vuillard'.Raúl Conde, El Mundo 'Te pone la piel de gallina'.Àngels Barceló, Cadena Ser 'Uno de los libros del año'.Paula Corroto, El Confidencial 'Cerdà, un escritor ya imprescindible en las letras españolas con una prosa de fuerte impronta estilística y representante de la renovación de la no ficción, ha trabado una obra de relevante personalidad'.Javier Ors, La Razón 'Absolutamente extraordinario. Aterrador, emocionante, conmovedor y necesario. Este es uno de los libros del año'.Antonio Martínez Asensio, Cadena Ser 'Lo sabe el lector que haya leído El peón y 14 de abril. El motor ético de su no ficción es construir un espacio literario donde sea posible recuperar la dignidad de los olvidados'.Jordi Amat, Babelia 'Cerdà se sirve de un lenguaje a veces evocador y a veces crudo, en todo caso pretendidamente literario ?por momentos, a la telegráfica manera de Hemingway?'.Jaime Cedillo, El Cultural

Slow, sorry but good
Format: Kindle
This was a slow moving book. Lots of character pov chapters, lots of superfluous descriptions and endless courtly appearances stalled this book to start. Once you get into the heart of the story, it takes off. Before you know it the book is done. My favorite character is Reyna. She is so strong. She is true to herself. She gets into a lot of trouble with her headstrong ways but it's entertaining. I have high hopes for Lorcan. He is honorable to a fault. Thane had turned out to be better than I thought but i still don't like him. Eislin is useless. Great plot twists at the end. I'm looking forward too book 2.

Very detailed! Beautiful world building! Strong Heroine!
Format: Kindle
Starts off a little slow and confusing with different POV’s, but starts to all come together towards the middle to make an elaborate plot line and makes it all worth it. Beautiful world building and attention to detail as well as great writing. The cliffhanger was gut wrenching! Can’t wait for the next book!

Interesting
Format: Kindle
This was a very captivating book once you got into it thoroughly. But the third person perspective was a bit hard to get used to. But as you got into it and followed the different characters, it was interesting and filled with intrigue, conflict and forbidden love. I can’t wait to read the next one and to complete the series.

OUTSTANDING
Format: Kindle
This was very, very good. The world is vast and characters are complex. There is a good plot with a whole lot going on. This is well written. Good twists and turns and some heart breaking moments. You will love these characters, they have heart and loyalty. I am hoping that there will be several more books. We've yet to see anything from the Sea Court but only a mention of them here and there. The Wood Court was given a quick couple of scenes, and only as far as some warriors, we've yet to enter their court and the Shadow Court, I'm not sure if they will be a force for good or bad, but they definitely will play a much bigger role moving forward. This is primarily the Ice and Air Courts. Told in multiple views, which I loved, it gives you a chance to see things from different eyes. There's alot of political maneuvering and deception. I loved it and will pick up the next book as it becomes available. If you like The Fae and the courts, you should love this. I think the author has mucn in store for us.

Definitely worth the read!
Format: Kindle
After taking a deep breath and taking in that wicked twist of an ending, I have finally composed myself. My first thought when I started this book was that I love Reyna's character. I was intrigued by her connection with her familiar and the Ruin that is plaguing her land. It came as no surprise that she took her sister's place in an attempt to protect her. When they reach the Air Court everything slows down. This is where it was iffy for me. First of all, I like multiple POV's in books however 7 is a bit much. It starts to interrupt the story line. I felt like I was finally making progress connecting with one character, then it was switched to another person. I felt they all had necessary or pertinent information but not necessarily were they all POV worthy. The only other thing that annoyed me was that Reyna constantly was " trapped." She would rush off without thinking, only to need rescuing. She is brilliant in a fight, but she really doesn't think through anything. Lorcan is amazing. I know he might be on the "bad" list, but his background is so interesting. Eislyn(Reyna's sister) is really so sweet, but calculating. I enjoyed her and Thane's dialogue. The author did an amazing job with the imagery in this book. Everything was so detailed it was easy to fall into the scene. I love unexpected twists and while part of the ending I expected, I wasn't expecting how it took place. All in all, I found it very entertaining and I am very invested in continuing this series. Favorite quotes: "The truth may be twisted but never false." "Who was she if she was not the enemy of the Air Court? What was her purpose of she no longer has that?" "In a war-torn land, love was always a lie."
