A review by angelireads
Dongeng by Anna Tan
3.0
I received an e-ARC in exchange for an honest review.
Gave this 3.5 stars.
I like the rich folklore bursting in this book. The plot is very unique and it is a different kind of fantasy from the usual ones I read. There is a slight romance seen here and I think it's really appropriate not to focus more on the romance but more on the storyline.
There were times when I was confused because of the backstory happening here. But I was very pleased with the unexpected plot twist near the end. I was a bit spooked in some parts of the book (I can't handle creepy characters) but it was necessary for the plot and the inclusion was written really well.
There are a lot of characters and I got confused with their names. But it was so nice to get a glimpse of Malaysian folklore and I really did like that ending.
