Question about English (UK)
It is then when you wish you had been Lilith more often and had boldly confronted unfairness. Then you realize that the two contradictory versions shown in book one and book too are just the proof of the story repeating itself, time after time.
Es entonces cuando desearías haber sido Lilith más a menudo, y haber hecho frente la injusticia con valentía. Entonces, te das cuenta de que las dos versiones contradictorias mostradas en los libros uno y dos son sólo la prueba de que la historia se repite una y otra vez. Does this sound natural?
