El Libro de los Portales, by Laura Gallego

Hi invisible people!!
Today my mood is quite unstable. On the one hand, I came back from my apartment in Benicassim like a week ago, and I'm still quite downhearted and stressed because of all the work I still have to do before May arrives with the exam season.
On the other hand, on the 4th of April, Laura Gallego published  her new book, "El Libro de los Portales" ("The Book of Gates" may be the translation in English), and I'm so excited about it! But as I've already said, and despite the fact that I've already bought it, now I'm too busy to read anything for fun, so I'll have to wait until summer holidays to plunge in it. I just can't wait for Summer to arrive!
Here I leave you a small summary of the plot and below you can see the trailer book if you're curious about it (I didn't know until I saw this one that there are trailers even for books!):
Painters from the Painters Academy are the only ones who know how to draw the extraordinary travel gates which constitute the  most important transport system of Darusia. Their severe rules and their comprehensive training guarantee professionalism, perfection and faultless technique in all their works. But when Tabit, a last-year-student of the Painters Academy, receives the assignment of painting a humble gate for a countryman, he can't imagine the plot of mysteries and secrets in which he'll see himself involved; secrets that could make stagger the main roots of the institution itself.
