Condensed and explosive, Tentoni’s prose is darkly poetic. Cynthia Rimsky, Leteo

Perhaps it is her ability to move between prose and poetry that allows Valeria Tentoni to resort to metaphor with such a natural ease. Ángel Soto, Milenio

Reading Valeria Tentoni is one of the most beautiful ways to raise the critical sense that is nowadays so reviled, so unusual and so accommodating. Rodolfo Mendoza, Criticismo

Valeria takes a risk and bets on intelligent readers, bets on emotion and active reading, bets on children, teenagers and young adults and invites them to get out of a capsule they don’t really need. Eldys Baratute, Revista Dossier
