Insurrecto by Gina Apostol
3.0
This is an interesting read. It is historical fiction and the major event discussed is real, but then most of the narrators are not which was actually a little disappointing.
There are also many narrators - 4-5, possibly more which can get a little hard to keep track of and they are not all reliable narrators.
It doesn't take that long to read, but despite having its moments of humors is ultimately a sad tale on several fronts which does not make one rush to read it. So might have given it a 4 as some parts were definitely easier on the soul than others, but a massacre is a hard read.
Be sure to read about the art on the cover at the end as that is enjoyable too.
