I really liked two or three stories in this collection, but the rest sort of were hard to get a feeling for what they were about and how they connected. I totally concede I don't get some of the historical and cultural context, but I did find some things to enjoy and puzzle over.
it was overall alright. im usually a fan of magical realism tied to hispanic heritage but this one is just a bit meh. some of the stories didnt make much sense to me, like the first one, and some we just great stories like the second to last one. just some harmless stories to pass the time.
This is the first audiobook I have completed in a VERY long time, and I really enjoyed it! I received it as an arc from Netgalley but it was archived before I could finish it, luckily there was a copy from the online library that I was able to reserve. It took about two months for the book to come in but finally I was able to borrow it. I would love to get my hands on a finished copy because this is definitely one that I'd like to e-read in order to better connect the dots between the individual short stories. The author is so creative and the narrator did a great job of bringing the story to life. Overall, I would definitely recommend this book and look forward to seeing what will be next from this author!
Over 3. Not 4. I think these stories should have been standalone, trying to connect them didn't serve any of them well.
