gannent's review against another edition
medium-paced
- Plot- or character-driven? Character
- Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes
3.5
The author has a real talent for point of view. The point of view flips between so many different characters and they all see each other differently, all observe different details, all care about different things. You can tell when POV changes in the text almost immediately because how things are observed and described is different. Yes, all the characters are horribly flawed, that’s the point. Their flaws are described so well and vividly. But definitely not a book for anyone looking for hashtag representation hashtag relatable. Characters express a lot of racist, misogynistic, anti-Semitic, etc. sentiment. Lots of anti-Mexican, anti-Indigenous and anti-Spanish sentiment.
