«El amor -en Bioy Casares- es una percepción privilegiada, la más total y lúcida, no sólo de la irrealidad del mundo, sino de la nuestra». --Octavio Paz En los dieciocho relatos antologados en Historias de amor, Adolfo Bioy Casares explora el tema de las relaciones amorosas a través de una gran variedad de situaciones y argumentos. Encontraremos aquí la pervivencia de una mujer en la memoria de dos rivales, el destino de un hombre que pierde lo que tiene sin conseguir lo que desea, la sorpresa vinculada a los comienzos de un romance, la defensa de la intimidad por medio del crimen o la reconciliación de dos amantes al cabo de cien años de hibernación. Con una mezcla encantadora de fantasía, humor y humanidad, los textos alzan un espejo ante el sentimiento universal del amor, al tiempo que pintan experiencias vívidas y concretas. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION "Love -for Bioy Casares- is a privileged perception, the most complete and lucid one possible, not only of the world's unreality, but also our own."--Octavio Paz In the eighteen stories in this anthology, Adolfo Bioy Casares explores romantic relationships through a variety of plots and situations. These include a woman's enduring impact on the memories of two rivals for her affections; the fate of a man who loses all he has without getting what he wants; the sense of surprise that characterizes the beginning of a romance; a crime committed to protect a couple's intimacy; and a pair of lovers who reunite after a hundred years. An enchanting mix of fantasy, humor and humanity, the stories in this collection reflect universal themes in the form of vivid and concrete experiences.Shipping Notes

Very detailed! Beautiful world building! Strong Heroine!
Format: Kindle
Starts off a little slow and confusing with different POV’s, but starts to all come together towards the middle to make an elaborate plot line and makes it all worth it. Beautiful world building and attention to detail as well as great writing. The cliffhanger was gut wrenching! Can’t wait for the next book!

Interesting
Format: Kindle
This was a very captivating book once you got into it thoroughly. But the third person perspective was a bit hard to get used to. But as you got into it and followed the different characters, it was interesting and filled with intrigue, conflict and forbidden love.
I can’t wait to read the next one and to complete the series.

OUTSTANDING
Format: Kindle
This was very, very good. The world is vast and characters are complex. There is a good plot with a whole lot going on. This is well written. Good twists and turns and some heart breaking moments. You will love these characters, they have heart and loyalty. I am hoping that there will be several more books. We've yet to see anything from the Sea Court but only a mention of them here and there. The Wood Court was given a quick couple of scenes, and only as far as some warriors, we've yet to enter their court and the Shadow Court, I'm not sure if they will be a force for good or bad, but they definitely will play a much bigger role moving forward. This is primarily the Ice and Air Courts. Told in multiple views, which I loved, it gives you a chance to see things from different eyes. There's alot of political maneuvering and deception. I loved it and will pick up the next book as it becomes available. If you like The Fae and the courts, you should love this. I think the author has mucn in store for us.

Definitely worth the read!
Format: Kindle
After taking a deep breath and taking in that wicked twist of an ending, I have finally composed myself. My first thought when I started this book was that I love Reyna's character. I was intrigued by her connection with her familiar and the Ruin that is plaguing her land. It came as no surprise that she took her sister's place in an attempt to protect her. When they reach the Air Court everything slows down. This is where it was iffy for me. First of all, I like multiple POV's in books however 7 is a bit much. It starts to interrupt the story line. I felt like I was finally making progress connecting with one character, then it was switched to another person. I felt they all had necessary or pertinent information but not necessarily were they all POV worthy. The only other thing that annoyed me was that Reyna constantly was " trapped." She would rush off without thinking, only to need rescuing. She is brilliant in a fight, but she really doesn't think through anything. Lorcan is amazing. I know he might be on the "bad" list, but his background is so interesting. Eislyn(Reyna's sister) is really so sweet, but calculating. I enjoyed her and Thane's dialogue. The author did an amazing job with the imagery in this book. Everything was so detailed it was easy to fall into the scene. I love unexpected twists and while part of the ending I expected, I wasn't expecting how it took place. All in all, I found it very entertaining and I am very invested in continuing this series.
Favorite quotes:
"The truth may be twisted but never false."
"Who was she if she was not the enemy of the Air Court? What was her purpose of she no longer has that?"
"In a war-torn land, love was always a lie."

Great Read!!! Great story!!!
Format: Kindle
The series is long, but Ms. Wolfhart does a fantastic job of weaving this tale while bringing so much to the characters. Surprises and plot twists along the way to keep you intrigued. There is some graphic sex, but is no way the focal point. Grammar was excellent (a rare find with a lot of self publishers) with only a few noted errors. I rarely give 4 stars, let alone 5.
