dame_samara 's review for:
Lobizona
by Romina Garber
To say I inhaled this book would not even come close to the voracity in which I devoured this audiobook. While the start feels a bit slow you quickly get sucked up into Manu's world. The descriptor I read on google of "Hogwarts-style magic school with the Twilight-esque dynamics of a hidden magical species" as I updated my memory of what had drawn me to request the audiobook from my library rang true.
Honestly it brought up the same feelings I felt the first time I entered Hogwarts through Harry's eyes. It is another place I will long to go in my dreams.
Unlike Harry Potter though this book goes at Societal Problems wholeheartedly and doesn't tiptoe around the problems that distinctly exist in both the human world and the world that Garber weaves into reality.
I don't want to dig deeper into that statement because there is no way to without getting deep into spoilers.
Perks of the Audiobook: Sol Madariaga's voice, is gorgeous and captures Manu and honestly this whole story in a way I never could have just reading as someone who doesn't speak Spanish.
Downside: I will probably have to get the audiobook for the sequel because I don't think I could go back to just reading this. But also even in doing this review I realized there are words mostly semi-unique to this world that I don't have the slightest idea on how to spell, but I know if I heard them again I'd know the meaning.
