Olvidarás el fuego es la primera novela que narra la entrañable historia y tragedia de Luis de Carvajal, alias "Joseph Lumbroso", y de la suerte que corrieron sus manuscritos y memorias hallados en 2016 en una casa de subastas en Nueva York, tras haber sido robados del Archivo General de la Nación.

La historia silenciada a lo largo de cuatro siglos del éxodo sefardí de España y Portugal, y de los esfuerzos para sobrevivir a migraciones, epidemias, huracanes, guerras, intolerancia, torturas, intrigas políticas y traiciones es narrada de manera magistral por la pluma de Gabriela Riveros.

La autora nos lleva a 1596, año en que un espectáculo atroz fue presenciado por miles de personas en la Alameda Central de la Ciudad de México: tras ser perseguido y torturado, el joven poeta, comerciante y líder religioso Luis de Carvajal, alias "Joseph Lumbroso", fue quemado en la hoguera junto con su madre, dos de sus hermanas y cinco miembros de su comunidad, condenados por la Inquisición como herejes judaizantes.

A través de personajes de carne y hueso seremos testigos de su resistencia heroica y clandestina, de la lucha de hombres y mujeres, de familias enteras que dieron la vida por el derecho a la libertad de pensamiento y de credo religioso. De Europa a Nueva España, de África a Asia, sus protagonistas custodian un secreto ancestral asediados por un entorno político en donde la diversidad cultural no solo fue considerada pecado, sino delito de Estado.

Esta novela recupera la historia de una comunidad enraizada a lo largo de todo el continente, cuya cultura, conocimientos y rutas comerciales han sido fundamentales para la conformación del mundo contemporáneo. También nos remite a la posibilidad de encontrarnos a través de los siglos y acortar la distancia con los otros, gracias a las palabras capaces de paliar los silencios y el olvido.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

You Will Forget the Fire is the first novel ever telling the endearing story and tragedy of Luis de Carvajal (Aka "Joseph Lumbroso") and that of his manuscripts and memoirs, found in 2016 in an auction house in New York, after being stolen from the General National Archive.

The Sephardic exodus from Spain and Portugal has been largely silenced for over four centuries. The efforts the exiled Iberian Jews had to make to survive migrations, epidemics, hurricanes, wars, intolerance, torture, political intrigues and betrayals is masterfully narrated by Gabriela Riveros.

The author takes us to 1596, the year in which an atrocious spectacle was witnessed by thousands of people in the Alameda Central of Mexico City: after being persecuted and tortured, the young poet, merchant, and religious leader Luis de Carvajal, also known as "Joseph Lumbroso", was burned at the stake along with his mother, two of his sisters, and five members of his community, the Inquisition finding them guilty of being "Judaizing heretics."

The readers witness the characters' heroic and clandestine resistance, and the struggle of entire families who gave their lives fighting for their religious freedom. From Europe to New Spain, from Africa to Asia, its protagonists keep an ancestral secret while besieged by a political environment in which cultural diversity was not only considered a sin, but a crime.

This novel recovers the history of a community spread throughout the continent, whose culture, knowledge, and trade routes were shaped the world. It also reminds us that words can ease the pain of silence and oblivion, bridging the temporal and geographical distances that often keep us apart.

Ambitious universe building that starts small
Format: Kindle
Defiance of the Fall is in the Top 5 of my favorite progression fantasy stories (for reference, I think you should at least try the first book of all 5 series with the other 4 series being Primal Hunter, He Who Fights with Monsters, Azarinth Healer, and The Calamitous Bob). The scale of this series world-building is beyond any other series that comes to mind. And the crazy thing is that 16 books in, there's still a TON of room to keep building. I'm hoping the author can keep the series at this quality out to at least 30 books. The series starts out slightly slower-paced, but 16 books in I think that was a good thing as it really sets up the main character and enables a slow build up of their new existence. You learn as the MC does, and at the beginning the MC is still struggling with the basics. But as the main character progresses, that 'world' gets more and more complex and grows vastly in scope (there's a whole giant universe out there), with that complexity being the main challenge of the series. When there is 16 books worth of progress, remembering all the details can get a bit challenging. Book 16 books in, I'm still eagerly reading every book that comes out. All in all, I highly recommend this series and all of the others in my Top 5 list. If I had to round that out to a Top 10, other series I would recommend would be Paths of Akashic, Dual-Class, Grand Game, Unintended Cultivator, and A Thousand Li. None of those latter 5 are a strong as the top 5, but all are worth reading IMO.

Great LitRPG
Format: Kindle
Solid LitRPG stuff. It has all the hallmarks of the genre and they're executed well, your protagonist who starts off average and gets stronger and stronger, experiencing both great danger and great opportunity, taking risks that (usually) pay off. Where it really shines is the worldbuilding; it's a somewhat slower burn in that respect but the writing does a good job of building a coherent, intriguing world with a ton of different factions and factions within factions with their own motivations. The history of the world is legitimately interesting and being cultivation-themed gives it a unique flavor compared to many others which are more straight RPG (and there's even a good in-universe reason for this). My criticisms are fairly minor, the writing can be a bit dry or awkward on occasion "The situation clearly hinted at a situation where he would only need to...", and the universe and lore is expansive enough that it's easy to forget about some individual element on occasion. This is an overall review of the series (16 books at time of writing).

good book, needs an editor.
Format: Kindle
The premise was good, and the story arcs were good. But the actual writing style of this book left a lot to be desired. I see the author is up to book 16 as of now. Hopefully they have fixed a lot of these minor issues.
