The Tenth Girl
by Sara Faring
I was wavering between 3⭐️ and 4⭐️ by the end of the book. I think it was a very decent debut for an author. I am in no way qualified or knowledgeable in Argentina’s history and it’s indigenous people, so I am not going to be talking about that, but I know that a lot of people had issues with that representation in the book. All I can say on that topic, that it is a work of fiction and I think we all should keep that in mind. Just all I’m saying.
Boy, this book was complicated and slow paced. And I know, a lot of people will like that, I just didn’t. I still finished it, I kept waiting for that twist “you’ll never see coming” and don’t get me wrong it was done quite nicely, but I still kinda saw it coming. And once it happened, things finally started to unravel... for like few paiges, and then it got slow again and ramble-ish. And why, oh why just EVERY SINGLE CHARACTER is such a philosopher? I get it, you have big philosophical points to get across in this books, but there are also other ways to do it. By the end, I could not differentiate who is talking, coz they all started to sound the same to me.( and do not get me started on this Yesi character, so annoying and inconsistent and frankly she does not make any sense every time she opens her mouth)
I did like Angel’s character, though gotta confess for like half a book I thought she was a girl and the other half I thought he’ a guy, and honestly, I am still confused( frankly it doesn’t matter, but I like to know what am I supposed to picture in my head when I read a story) I just wonder if anyone else felt the same or maybe I’m just stupid and missed the indication in the book?
