You Dreamed of Empires by Álvaro Enrigue

3.75

While this book is good and such an interesting telling of a time I personally hadn’t read about in fiction before, it’s also slow and intricate and you really have to intentionally read it to understand the politics and the characters. It’s also a lot more violent than I was expecting, lol. So while I’m glad to have read it, I can’t fully say I enjoyed the actual reading experience.
