EL REGRESO A LA MÍTICA CELAMA DE LUIS MATEO DÍEZPREMIO NACIONAL DE LAS LETRAS «No existe en este momento en la literatura española, ni entre los veteranos ni entre los más jóvenes, un escritor con tanta capacidad para inventar personajes como Luis Mateo Díez». --José María Merino «La tierra que llaman Celama nos hizo hijos del mismo destino en una noche de invierno». Este libro se compone de treinta y ocho historias que transcurren en el territorio imaginario de Celama. La mayoría forman parte de la trilogía compuesta por las novelas El espíritu del páramo, La ruina del cielo y El oscurecer, y otras son inéditas. Todas ellas se revisten ahora de un nuevo fulgor al aparecer reordenadas por la afinidad de lo que cuentan. Celama es una metáfora, tan hermosa como compleja, de la desaparición de las culturas rurales y conduce a lo más hondo y misterioso del corazón humano. Las historias nos ofrecen un cómputo de vidas apasionadas, melancólicas, exuberantes, cotidianas o secretas: un reflejo universal de las condiciones adversas de la vida, al que no falta la lucidez que añade el humor. Los cuentos de Celama han sido revisados (recontados) por el autor para esta edición. Como afirma Ángeles Encinar en el estudio final, estamos, en definitiva, ante un ciclo narrativo polifónico, que mantiene una poderosa unidad simbólica. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION THE RETURN TO THE MYTHICAL CELAMA OF LUIS MATEO DÍEZ
NATIONAL LITERATURE PRIZE This book is made up of thirty-eight stories that take place in the imaginary land of Celama. Most are part of the book trilogy conformed by The Spirit of the Moor, The Ruin of Heaven, and The Darkening, but there are also other unpublished tales. All are now donned with a new radiance after being rearranged, considering the similarities of what they portray. Celama is a metaphor, as beautiful as it is complex, of the disappearance of rural culture, and leads to the deepest, most mysterious parts of the human heart. These stories give us a reckoning of passionate, melancholic, exuberant, secret, or everyday lives; they are a universal reflection of the harsh conditions of life, and such a reckoning is not without the kind of clarity that humor brings. The tales in Celama have been revised (retold) by the author, especially for this edition. As Ángeles Encinar claims in the final study, we are definitely in the presence of a polyphonic narrative cycle that holds a powerful symbolic unity. "At this moment, there is not an author in Spanish literature, not among the veterans nor the young, so capable of creating characters like Luis Mateo Díez." --José María Merino

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

A good read
Format: Kindle
Multiple points of view. 3 Alpha men and an Omega male. She is a Beta in training for a new program placing betas in Alpha/Omega packs. Mila is only doing the program for the money to take care of her dad. She wasn't expecting to fall for a pack but when she sees this packs Omega she is done for. There is just something about him. His Alphas are good looking as well. Too bad she is hiding a secret and their government is acting shady. I liked it and can't wait to see where their story goes.
