Los secretos que guarda la isla solo los desvelará el exilio.


El día comienza mal para Adela, joven neoyorquina de ascendencia cubana, cuando recibe la llamada de su madre. Llevan enfadadas más de un año, porque Adela no solo se ha trasladado a Miami, sino que vive con Marcos, un joven habanero recién llegado a Estados Unidos que la ha seducido por completo y al cual, por su origen, su madre rechaza. Marcos le cuenta a Adela historias de su infancia en la isla, arropado por un grupo de amigos de sus padres, llamado el Clan, y le muestra una foto de la última comida en que, siendo él niño, estuvieron juntos veinticinco años atrás. Adela, que presentía que el día se iba a torcer, descubre entre los rostros a alguien familiar. Y un abismo se abre bajo sus pies.

Como polvo en el viento es la historia de un grupo de amigos que ha sobrevivido a un destino de exilio y dispersión, en Barcelona, en el extremo noroeste de Estados Unidos, en Madrid, en Puerto Rico, en Buenos Aires... ¿Qué ha hecho la vida con ellos, que se habían querido tanto? ¿Qué ha pasado con los que se fueron y con los que decidieron quedarse? ¿Cómo les ha cambiado el tiempo? ¿Volverá a reunirlos el magnetismo del sentimiento de pertenencia, la fuerza de los afectos? ¿O sus vidas son ya polvo en el viento?

En el trauma de la diáspora y la desintegración de los vínculos, esta novela es también un canto a la amistad, a los invisibles y poderosos hilos del amor y las viejas lealtades.

Una novela deslumbrante, un retrato humano conmovedor, otra obra cumbre de Leonardo Padura.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION


The secrets that the island holds will only be revealed by exile.


The day starts badly for Adela, a young New Yorker of Cuban descent, when she gets a call from her mother. They have been angry for more than a year, because Adela has not only moved to Miami, but also lives with Marcos, a young man from Havana who has recently arrived in the United States who has completely seduced her and whom, because of his origin, her mother rejects. Marcos tells Adela stories of his childhood on the island, surrounded by a group of friends of his parents, called the Clan, and shows her a photo of the last meal they had had together twenty-five years ago as a child. Adela, who sensed that the day was going to go wrong, discovers someone familiar between the faces. And an abyss opens up beneath their feet.


Como polvo en el viento
(Like Dust in the Wind) is the story of a group of friends who have survived a fate of exile and dispersion, in Barcelona, in the extreme northwest of the United States, in Madrid, in Puerto Rico, in Buenos Aires...What has life done to them, who had loved each other so much? What has happened to those who left and those who decided to stay? How has time changed you? Will the magnetism of the feeling of belonging, the strength of affections, bring them together again? Or are their lives already dust in the wind?


In the trauma of diaspora and the disintegration of bonds, this novel is also a hymn to friendship, to the invisible and powerful threads of love and old loyalties. A dazzling novel, a moving human portrait, another masterpiece by Leonardo Padura.

“My heart bows to you and you only, Huntress.”
Format: Kindle
3.5 🌟 This book popped up in my KU recommended reading suggestions and the synopsis sounded like what I was in the mood for. I'm so glad I took a chance on it. I went into this knowing absolutely nothing about it and ended up really liking it. I love when this happens. The main characters are likeable and I easily found myself rooting for them. There is a mystery element to each of their backstories that I enjoyed watching unfold and can't wait to get more of. Wolf, in particular, has me fixated. Love him. I found this to be an entertaining, addictive read with a plot that moves along at a good pace. It reads so easily I found myself very reluctant to put it down. Lots of twists and turns and the angst is there. A good set up for the next book to come, for sure. My issues with this book....the dialogue feels a bit juvenile at times and there is a repetitive over use of a particular word phrasing that I found myself giving the ole eye-roll to. There are, without a doubt, some pretty cliche moments that gave me a bit of the cringe. I think this could've certainly 100% benefited from more depth regarding the world building. Perhaps the world building was sacrificed to keep the pacing quick? Just a guess. Also, the lack of consistency of character for the FMC was really evident and so she feels quite illogical at times. Overall, this was a fun and enjoyable read that hit the spot well enough for me. That ending certainly has me impatiently pining for book 2!

Interesting take on the genre
Format: Kindle
True rating: 3.25 ⭐️ I enjoyed the fresh take on the genre. The best way I could describe the setting and world is an apocalyptic dystopian version of Farie where vampires, fae, and angles struggle to survive in what is left of the world. It was definitely interesting throwing the academy/hunger games aspect into this world as well. Even though I guessed the final reveal early on in the book, I kept hoping I was wrong, and it would take a surprising turn. While the "plot twists" were a bit predictable to me, I still enjoyed the ride this book took me on. Another downfall for me was the plot holes in the world building... I.E. if society has fallen and the world is in the aftermath of war, how are there trains running around the world? Just to take young adults to the trials to get into the golden city? How is the train maintained, the tracks clear, etc? However, I did enjoy the FMC & MMC and thought they were fleshed out nicely. I also enjoyed the side characters but wish some were developed more like Ashalin (sp?). I do find myself rooting for the MCs to succeed and find happiness together, which is obviously an important aspect for romantasy. Overall, was this an earth-shattering, mind-bending, terrific piece of literature? No. But was it the worst thing I've read this year? Also, no. This book has, to me, the bones of a great read & just needs a bit more to push it from an alright book to a great book. Overall ratings: Plot- 3.5⭐️ World building 3⭐️ Spice 2.5 🌶🌶 Main characters 4 ⭐️ Supporting characters 3.5⭐️

great book
Format: Kindle
I am really excited to meet the author at the book retreat this month. I really enjoyed this world that she built and most of the female main character Huntress is so awesome. She goes through a lot in this book and the ending; wow! I wouldn't have even guessed. I highly recommend everyone to read this book. I have been so lucky this year that almost all the books I have read have been, so far, 5 out 5 stars.

Fallen for the Fallen Angel – A Guilty Pleasure Worth Every Page
Format: Kindle
There’s something deeply irresistible about a dark academia or trial-based setting, a brooding and arrogant fallen angel, and a fierce heroine with enough sass to go toe-to-toe with him. Wings So Wicked is exactly that kind of book—and I devoured it in just a couple of days. To be fair, the plot isn’t groundbreaking. If you’re looking for something fresh and innovative in terms of storyline, this might not be it. But if your reader heart beats faster at the mere mention of enemies-to-lovers, jealousy-fueled banter, magical trials, betrayals, and forbidden tension—you’ll feel right at home. It’s like catnip for those of us with this particular weakness. The chemistry between the leads could have used a slightly slower burn to make the tension sizzle longer, but I still found myself completely invested in their dynamic. There are moments and phrases that feel a bit cheesy or underdeveloped, but honestly? I didn’t care. The vibes were exactly what I wanted. This book isn’t trying to reinvent the genre—it’s here to give readers like me what we crave: high-stakes magical drama, angsty romance, and the thrill of watching a badass girl and her brooding counterpart clash and spark. If that sounds like your kind of story, Wings So Wicked will hit the mark. Here’s hoping Book 2 turns up the heat and keeps the magic alive.

my new favorite book
Format: Kindle
Ok so I never write reviews but this book was so good I felt the need to write this. Firstly your introduced to Huntyr you see her closed off hard core badass than towards the end you see the most subtle change and growth it’s amazing and the enemies to friends to lovers was just perfect, AND THE TWIST AT THE END GOT ME GOOD! You see one spicy scene the whole book but it doesn’t even MATTER BECAUSE THE BOOK WAS THAT GOOD. I’ve read 85 books in 2023-2024 so far and I’m pround to say this is my all time favorite. I’m so excited to read more of Emily Blackwoods books, this was my first time reading one of hers and I’m glad I did because HOLY!! Well done Emily well done
