Todo gran viaje comienza en los libros. Con una perfecta unión de rigor histórico e intriga, Luis Zueco traslada al lector a una época en que la palabra impresa podía ser el arma más peligrosa. Hubo un tiempo en que los libros podían descubrir nuevos mundos, tambalear los dogmas más sagrados y cambiar el curso de la Historia. Esta novela es un viaje a los años siguientes a la invención de la imprenta, cuando un mercader de libros emprende la búsqueda de un misterioso ejemplar que ha sido robado de la mayor biblioteca de Occidente, creada en Sevilla por el hijo de Cristóbal Colón. Año 1517. El joven Thomas atraviesa la incipiente Europa renacentista huyendo de su pasado. Son los años siguientes al descubrimiento de América y la invención de la imprenta, un periodo de profundos cambios que han supuesto el fin de la Edad Media. La curiosidad que siente por el Nuevo Mundo, cosechada en sus múltiples lecturas, le llevará hasta España, donde comenzará a trabajar con un mercader de libros. El encargo de localizar un ejemplar envuelto en un halo misterioso le conduce hasta Sevilla, una próspera ciudad que sirve como enlace en el comercio con las Indias y que alberga, entre sus murallas, la biblioteca más importante de Occidente, creada por el hijo de Cristóbal Colón y llamada la Colombina. Será precisamente allí donde Thomas descubra que alguien ha robado el libro que él busca y, por alguna razón, tiene mucho interés en que nadie lo encuentre. Hubo un tiempo en que los libros permitían descubrir nuevos mundos, tambalear los dogmas más sagrados y cambiar el curso de la Historia. Luis Zueco nos sumerge en los albores de la bibliofilia y nos traslada, en una perfecta unión de rigor histórico y trama trepidante, a una época en la que la palabra impresa podía ser el arma más peligrosa. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION Every great journey begins inside a book. With a perfect blend of historical rigor and intrigue, Luis Zueco takes the reader to a time when the printed word could be the most dangerous weapon. There was a time when books could help discover new worlds, shake the most sacred dogmas, and change the course of history. This novel is a trip to the years just after the invention of the printing press, when a book merchant begins a search for a mysterious copy that has been stolen from the largest library in the West, created in Seville by Christopher Columbus' son. It is the year 1517, young Thomas crosses the emerging Renaissance Europe fleeing from his past. It is in those years following America's discovery and the invention of the printing press, a period of profound changes that meant the end of the Middle Ages. The great curiosity and attraction he feels for the New World, cultivated by his constant readings, will take him to Spain, where he will begin to work with a book merchant. The task of locating a copy shrouded in mystery takes him to Seville, a prosperous city that serves as a link in trade with the Indies and which holds, within its walls, the most important library in the West, created by Christopher Columbus' son and called the Colombina. It is precisely there that Thomas discovers that someone has stolen the book he is looking for and, for some reason, is very keen to ensure that no one finds it. There was a time when books allowed us to discover new worlds, shake the most sacred dogmas, and change the course of history. Luis Zueco immerses his readers in the dawn of bibliophiles and transports us, with a perfect union of historical rigor and a fast-paced plot, to a time when the printed word could be the most dangerous weapon.Shipping Notes

pretty cute, mediocre writing
Format: Kindle
Its okay and cute story and characters but writing feels cringey and lazy at times. I also tended to find the main characters sometimes annoying

flawed and sweet
Format: Kindle
While the premise of the book was endearing, it quickly felt under-researched and over-represented. Giving characters mental health diagnoses while describing only surface level or self-diagnosed criteria makes the characters feel stereotypical and under-developed. The manic-like decision making of one of the main characters is often used as a plot point, making it feel like a gimmick to blame the character’s “neurodivergence”. Had there been better research and understanding into mental health diagnoses, and less stereotypically representation, it would have been easier to enjoy.
Aside from that I liked the premise of the plot and found the build of found family, friendship, and love to be sweet.

Perfect spring romcom!
Format: Paperback
What a beautiful story about finding the life and partner that works for you. I may need to go buy a flower farm and come right back!
If you want a book with the most perfect spring vibes this is it! I loved that Opal and Pepper had such complementary skills when it came to the flower farm. Opal bought a flower farm for the vibes and without Pepper would have had absolutely no hope of maintaining it. Honestly relatable. I loved seeing them working together and learning to understand one another.
I also loved how this story explored neurodivergence and the different strengths and struggles it can bring. Opal's experience of being neurodivergent is dissimilar to other descriptions I have read and I really appreciated it. I became a reader because I love seeing how people's minds work differently but with how much I read it's unusual that I come across a character who really stands out. Opal is one who does.
If you want a story that is the perfect escapism while also being very grounded in issues and experiences people have then this is the perfect fit! I love reading books about things that sound so incredibly cool, like owning a flower farm, but I would be completely terrible at! I'm over here like maybe I do need a flower farm and my half-dead houseplants are judging me.
Thanks to St. Martins Press!

Good!
Format: Paperback
Thank you to NetGalley for the e-ARC!
I love Mazey’s writing and character-building! The setting of a flower farm was splendid. The sapphic romance was lovely. You go to see inside both of the character’s heads and understand their viewpoint and reasoning.
My girl Lizzie and her cake-making were mentioned!!
I think it would be lovely if Opal’s sisters were able to have their happily ever afters told in the future.

Neurospicy and queer spicy
Format: Paperback
I absolutely love this book. If you're looking for lesbian, spicy love but realistic with healthy relationship principles, and relatable neurodivergent characters, you'll love it too.
