«Recomendaría este libro. Me hizo recordar Los Hijos de Sánchez.» --Comentario de los jueces del ILBA

Una novedosa y osada visión de la historia de Puerto Rico, desde la época precolombina, hasta hoy día.

La historia de Puerto Rico ha estado marcada por conquistas y resistencias. A lo largo de los siglos los puertorriqueños han creado y sorteado complejas ideas sobre lo que significa pertenecer a una nación. En este libro, Jorell Meléndez-Badillo ofrece una nueva interpretación de la historia de Puerto Rico que da voz a los habitantes del archipiélago y propone una nueva perspectiva sobre los retos políticos, económicos y sociales a los que se enfrentan hoy en día.

En este extraordinario trabajo de investigación histórica, el autor ilumina la vibrante cultura del archipiélago en los siglos previos a la llegada de Colón, así como la compleja y turbulenta historia de Puerto Rico en los siglos que siguieron, desde la primera insurrección indígena liderada por el poderoso cacique Agueybaná II contra el dominio colonial en 1511, hasta el establecimiento del Estado Libre Asociado en 1952. Meléndez-Badillo también retrata con destreza el periodo contemporáneo, así como la compleja y desigual historia colonial del archipiélago con el territorio
continental de Estados Unidos.

Una historia cautivadora, por momentos personal y siempre sorprendente, del colonialismo, la rebelión y la creación de una identidad nacional, que brinda nuevas perspectivas, no solo sobre Puerto Rico y el Caribe, sino también sobre los Estados Unidos.

«Would recommend this book. The book took me back to Los Hijos de Sanchez.» --Insight from the ILBA judges

A new panoramic history of Puerto Rico from pre-Columbian
times to today !

For centuries, Puerto Ricans have crafted and negotiated
complex ideas about nationhood. Meléndez-Badillo provides a
new history of Puerto Rico, highlighting the vibrant cultures of the
archipelago in the centuries before the arrival of Columbus, and
capturing the full sweep of Puerto Rico's turbulent history in the
centuries that followed, from the first indigenous insurrection
against colonial rule by the powerful chieftain Agüeybaná II, to the
establishment of the Commonwealth in 1952.

Puerto Rico is an engaging, sometimes personal, and consistently
surprising history of colonialism, revolt, and the creation of a
national identity, offering new perspectives not only on Puerto
Rico and the Caribbean but also on the United States and the
Atlantic world.

Fun puzzles, cliffhanger ending
Format: Kindle
If you’ve read the earlier books about the Hawthornes, you know that Avery Grambs, the heiress to the Hawthorne fortune, established an annual game of puzzles and riddle in which the winner would win a whole lot of money. This book is about one of those games. I finished this book late last night, and the first thing you need to know is that it ends in the middle of the game! Barnes calls this a new series, and obviously, it’s the kind of series in which books are tightly linked. The next book comes out next July. So forewarned. I found I had to concentrate at the book’s start because there’s a lot to sort out. There are 8 players, mostly new characters Hawthornes there, mostly in background with Grayson having a bigger role. There are also three points of view. So it took me quite a while to be sure I knew who was who and what their backstory was. I’m not actually sure I understand all of them even now, partly because Barnes withholds some information for the next book Still, page by page, I enjoyed this book. I liked solving the puzzles and was pleased with myself when I did it faster than the characters did though that wasn’t as often as I’d like. The books takes place over 2 days, I think, but there’s some insta-attraction I guess, which is interesting. The ending was unsatisfactory for me, and Barnes obviously intended it to be that way. I’ll undoubtedly pick up the second book next year, but I’ll have to reread this one to have any hope of following it.

Jenn has never disappointed me onceee!!!!!
Format: Hardcover
The grandest game is an absolute masterpiece!! The story is gripping from scratch to finish, with expertly crafted twists and turns that keep you on edge of your seat. Jenn has a way of weaving together intricate plots and dynamic characters that feel incredibly real. The pacing is perfect, and every detail feels intentional and significant. I adore the characters' relationships and motives unfolded, creating a rich, layered narrative. The grandest game is the kind of book that lingers with you long after you have turned the last page. I highly recommend it to anyone who has an interest in thriller like me and you won't regret it!!

The devil works hard but JLB works harder
Format: Paperback
Five star book One star shipping The inheritance games is utterly amazing, but grandest game BLEW away my expectations! It is twisting and turning with riddles and secrets, with brand new characters alongside our classic ones. Totally recommend to TIG lovers 12+ Shipping on the other hand was delayed nearly 2 weeks, and I live in central Texas. I was disappointed but I have already read it on kindle and wanted the paper back so wasn’t end of the world, but still annoying. Totally amazing book though!

An Escape Room in a Book.
Format: Kindle
The literal definition of a page turner. Extremely difficult to put down. The story is like an escape room, a mystery, and a romance, all wrapped into one book. 📚
