I'm so glad you enjoyed Tu sueño so much. It's one of my best books of the year, too. It seems like Muerte súbita is available from Germany again, so I'll try to get my hands on a copy. It was actually the first book of his that I ever had on my radar. It sounds even weirder than I was aware of, though. 😅
Cortezuma! Why is that such a good ship name lol, sorry. Thank you for the shoutout! It makes me happy to know I motivated you to get to Cartucho! You’re the reason I picked it up :) How you described looking to historical fiction to place you into the setting is what I love most about historical fiction. And yes, some people prefer when the story is not about a historical figure or event so they’re not worried about accuracy. I really like history but I’m not a history buff so I don’t tend to have the issue of worrying about inaccuracies (and that taking me out of a story.) I do try to remain skeptical about accuracy to some extent and also try to find trustworthy authors, like you said. I didn’t know the current english translation of Cartucho is considered to be bad but that makes sense because the language is very regional and probably tricky to translate well. I hope an indie press picks it up too. Charco Press please! Nellie Campobello sounds fascinating, there should be a book about her and Muerte Súbita sounds hilarious!
@@karlalikestoread omg right??? My thought while editing was: did I just invent a really problematic ship?? 😂 I don’t know why the accuracy thing bothers me in books because it doesn’t bother me at all in period shows and movies! It also doesn’t bother me in historical romances or lighter books like that, I think it’s only in the ones with real figures and events. (But again, it doesn’t bother me with shows and movies so I don’t know what that’s about! 😝). Both Muerte súbita and Tu sueño imperios han sido are super funny! 😝
