rainbowfarts 's review for:

A Murmer of Bees by Sofía Segovia
3.0

I thought the book would be more magical based on the description but the magical elements really fell flat. Overall, I found the book to be very circular. I felt like they rehashed things over and over. I kept thinking I was experiencing deja vu. I repeatedly thought to myself that something I just read, I had read a few pages or chapters before. There were several times that I felt the narrative was leading to a climax that never came. Not to mention the long boring and overly drawn out leads up to the non-existent climaxes. The most redeeming part of the book was the relationship between Simonopio and Francisco Jr.
