Un relato emocionante, profundo y divertido de la historia de la humanidad en clave femenina.

Juana de Arco, Malinche, Sofonisba Anguissola, Mary Wollstonecraft, Victoria Kent, Jane Austen, Marie Curie, Simone Weil o Rosa Parks también estuvieron ahí. Con brillantez y elegancia, Cristina Oñoro construye un fascinante relato que desmonta las narraciones sobre la humanidad y derriba los discursos misóginos heredados.

A partir de una maravillosa red de conexiones entre experiencias femeninas, Cristina Oñoro cuenta otra historia del mundo, empleando para ello un sinfín de detalles memorables y anécdotas curiosas, así como los últimos avances de la investigación especializada sobre sus protagonistas. Las que faltaban recorre con rigor algunos momentos históricos cargados de significado, desde la oscuridad de las cavernas prehistóricas hasta la Guerra de Afganistán, pero también de la literatura, el arte, la filosofía y la ciencia para tratar de iluminar, con notables dosis de ironía y erudición, las zonas de sombra en las que se ha relegado a las mujeres. El resultado es una nueva épica, atrevida y poderosa, que desmitifica la construcción heroica y violenta del pasado en favor de una visión del mundo profundamente relacional y abierta a lo posible.

De la mano de la autora, el lector descubrirá a las amigas de Juana de Arco, se reirá con las confusiones lingüísticas entre Malinche y Hernán Cortés durante la Conquista y se asombrará ante los malabares de los Curie para lograr cierta conciliación familiar y que Marie también pudiera quedarse en el laboratorio hasta tarde. Sin caer en la tentación de presentar a sus protagonistas como excepciones, Las que faltaban traza una auténtica genealogía y en sus páginas vemos desfilar a muchas otras mujeres, como las comadronas del mundo clásico, la hija de Cleopatra, la escritora Christine de Pizan, las damas de la corte de Isabelle de Valois, Mary Shelley y Cassandra Austen, las alumnas de la Residencia de Señoritas de Madrid, las activistas Gloria Steinem y Dorothy Pitman Hughes o escritoras chicanas como Gloria Anzaldúa. Las incisivas observaciones de Virginia Woolf, así como una amplia selección de imágenes, acompañan la lectura del libro, en el que también se recorre de forma sutil la historia del pensamiento feminista.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

A personal, exciting, and fun tale of the history of humankind, told in female code.

Joan of Arc, Malinche, Sofonisba Anguissola, Mary Wollstonecraft, Victoria Kent, Jane Austen, Marie Curie, Simone Weil and Rosa Parks were also there. Elegantly and brilliantly, Cristina Oñoro builds a fascinating tale that dismantles the narrative about humanity and brings down the hereditary misogynistic discourse.

From a wonderful network connecting female experiences, Cristina Oñoro tells a different story of the world, using endless memorable details and curious anecdotes, as well as the latest advancements in specialized research about her protagonists. Those Missing rigorously covers some historical episodes charged with meaning, from the darkness in prehistoric caverns, to the war in Afghanistan, but also literature, art, philosophy, and science, trying to bring light, with a notable measure of irony and erudition, into those shadowy places these women have been shunted off to. The result is a new epic, bold and powerful, that demystifies the heroic and violent construction of the past in favor of a world view profoundly relational and open to possibility.

By the author's hand, the reader will meet Joan of Arc's friends, will laugh over the linguistic misunderstanding between Malinche and Hernán Cortés during the Mexican Conquest, and will be astonished by the Curie family's struggle to reach a certain conciliation, permitting Marie to stay in her laboratory until late. Without giving in to the temptation of presenting its protagonists as exceptions, Those Missing draws an authentic genealogy, and we see many more women through its pages, like midwives from antient times, Cleopatra's daughter, the writer Christine de Pizan, ladies in waiting at Isabelle de Valois' court, Mary Shelley and Cassandra Austen, students of the Ladies Residence in Madrid, activists Gloria Steinem and Dorothy Pitman Hughes, or Mexican-American writer Gloria Anzaldúa. Virginia Woolf's keen observations and a broad selection of images enrich the book, in which there is also a subtle trace of the history of feminist thinking.

Well holy moly!
Format: Kindle
Holy moly that story definitely had me hooked! Kieran was definitely a character that I immediately adored. She has obviously had to deal with a butt load of too high expectations from her father (who is 🤬).. She has been helpless when it came to finding out her affinity with so many years of no answers & perceived failure. When Ronan, gives her a small inkling of hope that she be a Beast Tamer, she jumps into it. But again she doesn’t seem to fit. But when she runs into Gabe again, she ends up helping him & rethinking her life in Alfemir. And when the opportunity comes she decides leaving is the best option. But when Ronan demands he comes with her & then the random appearance of Bastian, she is feeling very overwhelmed. After she chooses to fall with them, they land on earth exactly where Gabe is located only to run into Steele who is a person that I was finding hard to like. After training, she eventually finds out she does have an affinity & it’s one that no longer exist & is incredibly powerful but also has a prophecy attached to it. I feel incredibly bad for her on she learns about the prophecy & Steele’s connection with it too. But that ending, with the battle scene & Niz….yeah definitely was not expecting that but hello I am all here for it too! Absolutely amazing start of a series & I for sure will be waiting for the next one to come out. Amazing job!

So good!
Format: Kindle
Wings of Stars was a fantastic first book to a new series. It grabbed me in its clutches within the first chapter and kept ahold of me. This new world of M Sinclair and RL Caulder’s is all about angels and mythical creatures. It’s full of drama from all points. From Kieran’s awful home life to keeping the stars alive and everything in between. Kieran is our FMC and despite everything she keeps her spirit and defiance. Keeping to their norm, there is a group of guys for our FMC but they definitely aren’t established yet, and not fully cemented yet into being a group rather than her choosing between them. Ronan is so sweet and gives off Daddy vibes Gabe is also sweet and wants the best of everything for Kieran and will defend her against anyone Bastian is slightly unhinged but I loved him immediately Steele is a jerk… just as you find redeeming qualities, he screws up again… but yet I still want him to redeem himself. There’s another one… but if I gave his name I would be spoiling a plot twist so you will just have to find out yourself… but you’ll love him as much as I do. This is a slow burn but the little bit of spice we do get is hot, especially with the dirty talk.

Angels and the Fallen — Breathtaking Start
Format: Kindle
This book was EVERYTHING I expected it to be and more. Leave to R.L. Caulder and M. Sinclair to give us yet another amazing book! Kieran and her guys hooked me from the very beginning and did not let go. Found family is one of my favorite tropes and it was done so well in this book. Couple that along with an FMC trying to find her place in the world and I was practically drooling over this book. The world building, the conflict, the wyverin sidekick — it all was done so well that it felt fresh and real. Each love interest felt real and unique in their own ways. I felt connected to each one and like they were truly different people. I love that so much in a book and these two authors never miss with their love interests. Multi POV, Reverse harem, who did this to you, and a magical world highlighting the angels and the fallen. This book has everything and it does it so well. Big thank you to R.L. Caulder and M. Sinclair for the arc copy! I cannot wait for book 2!

A new take 🤔
Format: Kindle
I’m not going to go into what this book is about — by now you e already read the synopsis and have an idea — but I will give a couple of insights. Definitely a different take on angels and their fall; I like it. This is an interesting start to a new series - YES, this does end on a cliffhanger so be prepared for that. I’m eager for the next book (and hopefully the last in this series — sometimes the author(s) will switch it up depending on how the story flows for them) in this series. I’m hoping that a certain male character redeems himself because he’s a dick that will make the meaning of mixed signals jealous lol. You ever watch that old movie — I think it’s call Mommy Dearest? — yea, let’s switch that up to daddy. That man would make a perfect husband to mommy dearest. I recommend this book because while these authors are well known for their cliffhangers, they are also well known for putting out good stories.

Liked it
Format: Kindle
I liked the worlds and the characters. The prophesy is confusing in that I would think, since all worlds ore on a path to destruction, the angels would want their world to be saved. I am sure there is more evil that will be revealed as the series proceeds. I dislike a prolonged “poor little me” trope and the main character has moved past that, thankfully, and began to show a fierce attitude as the novel progressed. The last portion of the novel had some great action. It’s worth reading, just be patient with a slow start.
