3.0
Some chapter repeated from a different POV which annoyed me.
I did like how some of the racism, sexism and colonialism is reframed, but honestly I didn't need to read a while ass book when I wrote this critical review in college.
It was fine. I am in the fence about the redemptive ending.

I really enjoyed this overall, though perhaps a bit less than Mexican Gothic. It's hard to elaborate on why - the characters and their conflicts were all very believable, but I think there were simply too many of them, and some of the story seemed to drag out a bit too long.
