valeriaandrea 's review for:

Isabel and the Rogue by Liana De la Rosa
3.0
slow-paced

It's not that I didn't like it, I very much enjoyed the setting and of course, I love it when Mexican history and culture are portrayed in media like this (even if I rolled my eyes sooo hard when they mentioned Presidente Juarez because screw him, his presidency is the biggest lie that was manufactured in the 20th century in Mexico).

It's just that they didn't mooove. I did like Sirius's character a lot, but neither he nor Isabel moved from the narratives they created about themselves, like never. Not even by the end, they just pretended they did.
