This was such a strange book. I don't even really know how to review it? There wasn't a lot of character development. And I feel like there were some plot holes maybe. Definitely confusion because I think I missed some things or the meaning of some things.
I think my biggest issues though was for a book set in Peru, there was basically no Spanish? I can't even remember if the word "gracias" came up. Which really bothered me. It always just had something to note if the person said something in English, Spanish, or Quechua. According to the notes at the back, this author took months of Spanish so why aren't there phrases and words throughout?
Anyways. That really bothered me.
