Espero que al igual que yo, hayan disfrutado mucho sus vacaciones decembrinas, pues de verdad necesitaba relajarme un poco luego de tanto ajetreo universitario. En estás vacaciones tuve la oportunidad de retomar mis hábitos de lectura y aproveché la oportunidad para releer una de esas historias que se te graban en el corazón: Deseo concedido, escrito por megan maxwell. Así que hoy haré está reseña, con ganas de que ustedes disfruten un poco junto a mi de lo linda que es esta historia.
I hope that, like me, you have enjoyed your december vacations, because I really needed to relax a bit after so much university hustle and bustle. During these vacations I had the opportunity to resume my reading habits and I took the opportunity to reread one of those stories that are engraved in your heart: Wish Granted, written by Megan Maxwell. So today I will do this review, wanting you to enjoy a little with me of how beautiful this story is.
Sinopsis | Synopsis

Mi reseña | My review:
Wish granted, is the first book of a saga that continues to grow, entitled: Maxwell Warriors, I emphasize that all this saga is set in medieval Scotland, so get ready for it. This story is one of those that I have close to my heart, I don't know if it's because of the time I've been knowing her or because of how identified I feel with Megan, the protagonist of this novel, for her character, her strength, her desire to defend her own and those who need it, her bravery, even her loneliness to be the one who protects her brother, but without anyone to protect her; it is so difficult for her to let herself be taken care of, that it is extremely tender when she lets them do it. But yes, as you can tell, Megan, in my opinion, is one of those characters that you love with all your little heart as a reader, because you know she makes a difference and she does it in a very special way.
As you could read in the synopsis, Megan has two siblings, Shelma and Zack, whom our protagonist loves with all her heart and protects as a true warrior. The 3 siblings live with their grandfather in a village in Scotland after losing their parents in strange situations. And it is in that village where she meets Duncan, the brave warrior and protagonist of the novel, who is impressed with Megan's courage, and who will gradually fall in love with her.
Obviously this story is dominated by love, that's why it's one of my favorites, because, as you know, I have a chicken heart. I love the tug of war between the main characters, I love how they can go from strong arguments, to love each other madly, and I love even more when they understand that they are for each other, they get together and grow, it's really quite cliché, but I love that kind of books (I'm sorry).
Another thing I really like about this book is how it touches on the machismo of those times, not because I'm in favor of it, but because I'm excited to see how Megan (mainly) her sister and another batch of women, completely ignore it and decide to bring out their strength, character and passion.
About the characters as such, I think I will go first for Megan (not to be noticed that she is my favorite) but about her I think I have said it all, they call her "The impatient one" and believe me that, although she is my favorite, even to me she stressed me many times during the plot, but she also made me cry when she felt misunderstood or trapped. On the other hand Duncan, the lair McRae, I can only tell you that the author gave him a giant patience, because, being another one, he kills Megan starting the book😂, although he is not a saint either, so, let's say that those two are such and such, and seeing them kill each other can thrill you and stress you a little bit at the same time.
Now we have Shelma, Megan's sister, who honestly for me started out as a pretty interesting character but as the story progresses, she loses more and more substance. Then we have Zack the younger brother, a super naughty boy, who will get in more than one problem to all those around him, sincerely in my opinion, was one of the greatest dangers of the Philips sisters, because with his witticisms he could have killed the 3 of them on more than one occasion.
There are other characters in the story: Gillian, Kieran O'Hara, Niall McRae and Lolach who will be Shelma's husband. But honestly out of all of them only Kieran and Gillian, get my attention. The first for being a great friend, who honestly could steal my heart at some other time, and Gillian for her power and personality, very characteristic of a Maxwell warrior.
Y bueno, está fue mi pequeña reseña sobre "Deseo concedido", una historia llena de romance, pero con peleas, traiciones y mucho más de por medio. Es un libro súper ligero, que te permite salir de ese bloqueo y que tú mente se relaje, vas a disfrutar y reír con el, incluso puede que a veces suspires o se te salga una que otra lagrimita, pero... ¿Sería un buen libro, si no te hace sentir?
Si llegaste hasta aquí:
And well, this was my little review of "Desire Granted", a story full of romance, but with fights, betrayals and much more in between. It is a super light book, that allows you to get out of that block and your mind to relax, you will enjoy and laugh with it, you may even sigh sometimes or you may get a tear or two, but.... Would it be a good book if it doesn't make you feel? If you made it this far:
Gracias por leerme y hasta un próximo post
Thanks for reading and see you in a future post

I just love going through warrior information materials because they actually make me feel stronger about life.
I'm sure you do! I understand you perfectly well... Thanks for reading me
I usually don't grant audience to romantic books, but this has that little bit of thriller in it.
I can't promise it would go in my list tho 😅
I'll be honest with you, if romance isn't your thing, ignore this book hahaha it really has a lot of love within itself. Thanks for reading and for your comment @stevenson7

Wish Granted is such an intriguing book name, and the fact that it's a romance story already had me wanting to read more. You did an amazing job explaining what the story is about making me want to read it even.
Wonderful review.
Thank you for your nice comment and for taking the time to read me. It really is a great book if you like romance and women with character, I hope you decide to read it and like it as much as I do.
Hace mucho que no leo nada de esta autora, solía gustarme su escritura pero luego me fui por otros rumbos y le perdí el rastro a lo que iba publicando. Esta saga parece muy interesante, me gusta que este ambientada en una época medieval, quizá le de una oportunidad. ¡Gracias por la recomendación!
Espero que puedas darsela, megan es bastante buena a mi parecer. Por lo ligero que es, de verdad te lo recomiendo, en un dia o dos maximo lo terminas
