Pinol is literary and literaturely a box of chocolates from Forrest Gump - you never know which one you’re going to get. This is applicable both to his books and even the chapters in them.
It starts as a historical adventure, moves on to political and war satire and ends dramatically, while maintaining perfect balance between history and fiction. Something pretty close to Gashek, Vonnegut and surely “Legend of Ulenspiegel”. And the worldbuilding and the development of the characters are done with so much detail that it feels an even a little wasteful not to have an option to follow the entire life of Zuviria after the book’s story ends.
Witty, cynical, unbelievably well written and full of sincere and (do not confuse with blind) love to Catalonia and Barcelona in particular.
Also, though I assume that I’ve guessed the Vauban’s Word right at the moment when he has asked it, well… to be 100% sure about it, supposedly, you have to be a Maganon
