A Novel
by Silvia MorenoGarcia
Certain Dark Things is a sensory, noir-tinged urban fantasy that drops you into Mexico City’s underbelly and a tense, predator–prey relationship. What works best is atmosphere: vivid street detail, a hungry, ancient-vs-modern premise, and a lean momentum that keeps pages turning. The main limitation is uneven pacing and scenes that linger on mood at the expense of plot clarity, which can frustrate readers who want propulsive plotting or explicit answers about the book’s mythic background.

Consider The Republic by Plato. Recommended by 13 sources.
“Plato stages an extended Socratic conversation that moves from concrete questions about justice into broad proposals about an ideal city, the structure of the soul, and what counts as reality and knowledge. Reading alternates brisk question-and-answer snippets with long, cumulative demonstrations that reward careful attention and annotation. Main value: a wealth of thought experiments for testing political and ethical intuitions. Main limitation: repetitive refutations, long policy sketches and dense metaphysical passages can feel abstruse and slow; patience and some philosophical background help.”
