El descubrimiento y conquista de América fueron acontecimientos cruciales de incalculables consecuencias, aun hoy en vías de resolución.

La Historia de la conquista de Nueva España es una crónica portentosa y minuciosa de un testigo directo de aquella empresa descomunal. El brío excepcional del relato, el vigor de la prosa y su infatigable capacidad para evocar hombres, acciones y escenarios le conceden, sin lugar a dudas, un sitio de privilegio en la literatura española.

El libro contiene tres grandes bloques temáticos: el descubrimiento de Yucatán por las expediciones de Francisco Hernández de Córdoba y Juan de Grijalva (1517-18); la epopeya propiamente dicha bajo los estandartes de Hernán Cortes (1519-21); y el viaje a Honduras, complementado con una extensa miscelánea de noticias sobre la Nueva España.

Cada página es un dechado de prodigiosa intensidad, producto del talento narrativo de Bernal Diaz, de la energía de su estilo y del terrible verismo con que narra la aventura. Nada queda fuera de su crónica en esta edición concentrada en sus mejores capítulos, que se incluyen por entero: ni las vicisitudes y sucesos militares, ni la caracterización de los personajes más relevantes (Cortes, Moctezuma, etc.), ni los sentimientos y experiencias personales de un soldado empeñado en dar exacta y precisa cuenta de los avatares vividos en esa tierra desconocida. Pero quizás la grandeza de esta obra radique en el aliento épico que la anima.

A diferencia de otros cronistas, a los que se enfrenta y critica, Bernal Diaz presenta la conquista de México como una empresa común, como la gesta de un colectivo de hombres cuyos aciertos y errores corresponden al pueblo español.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
Vivid, powerful and absorbing, this is a first-person account of one of the most startling military episodes in history: the overthrow of Montezuma's doomed Aztec Empire by the ruthless Hernan Cortes and his band of adventurers.

Bernal Díaz del Castillo, himself a soldier under Cortes, presents a fascinatingly detailed description of the Spanish landing in Mexico in 1520 and their amazement at the city, the exploitation of the natives for gold and other treasures, the expulsion and flight of the Spaniards, their regrouping and eventual capture of the Aztec capital.

not bad
Format: Kindle
I loved the plot of this book. The characters just didn’t have a lot of depth. The connections and “love” just weren’t communicated very well in the writing. The author didn’t write the sweet psycho trope very well at all either. Lachlan was just a mess of a character.

A Beta Worth Rooting For
Format: Kindle
In Spare, Violet Fox flips the omegaverse on its head, giving us a Beta heroine determined to make her mark. Joining the Beta Trials to support her sick father, she's thrown into a pack that doesn't want her, especially the possessive Alphas. But here's the twist: their sweet Omega turns out to be her scent match. Cue the angst, forbidden tension, and a slow-burn romance that will make your heart ache in the best way. Violet Fox delivers an emotional, refreshing take on the genre, proving Betas aren't "spares." They're stars.

Beta, Alpha, Omega oh my!
Format: Kindle
Omegas are precious and given to Alphas & their packs... but the Betas want in too. To this end, the Beta government is rolling out its trial of assigning a Beta to each Alpha-Omega pack. But forcing a Beta into a pack where they are not wanted will not end well... Of course, no one expected the Omega to fall for the assigned Beta. Great read and cliffhanger

A familiar story, just with…..less.
Format: Kindle
So, as other reviewers make clear, this is very similar to Pack Darling and The Beta. It’s much closer aligned with The Beta, in plot and maybe more like Pack Darling with characters. That being said, I don’t hate this…..but it wasn’t great either. It’s both books mentioned but just….less. Less angst, less emotion, less feeling. The plot feels very half fleshed out, and the “bad guy” feels underwhelming. I didn’t really feel any real emotions from and of the male leads, except maybe Oliver. The others fell sorta flat for me. And Mika makes herself out to be this big bad ass straight outta training and then we never see it from here again with the one fitting room incident as the exception. SPOILER: The whole, “Oh, I’m actually probably an Omega, but I don’t wanna be but I do actually wanna be but no one can ever know my secret that I do nothing to hide “ thing fell so flat. She never commutes to believing she was secretly an omega, but also mentions her “secret” a lot. It just felt so manufactured. I’m intrigued enough to read part 2 and see how the author closes everything out, but this is not one I’ll recommend or ever come back to.

Good start to a series
Format: Kindle
I delayed reading the series for reasons I don’t remember. But my TBR list is huge so I thought I’d take a shot of this and I was pleasantly surprised. I didn’t think the blurb about it was anything special. But it was a very good book. It took some interesting twists and turns. I am so glad the second book is already out. Because I would not have waited patiently. Very slow burn but good storyline. 🔥🔥/5
