- Plot- or character-driven? A mix
- Loveable characters? It's complicated
3.5
Surprisingly the only book by Silvia Moreno Garcia I didn't really love. It might be because it's the only one I listened to as an audiobook. I liked the characters overall and the story overall but something about it didn't grab and hold me like her other books I've read. I would zone out listening and couldn't get myself to rewind to try to listen to it again. I always love the setting of old Mexico though, and I loved using the folklore as a major part. The concept and everything was interesting, but I just couldn't fully enjoy it. It's not bad by any means, just not as good as her others.
