julenka_reads 's review for:
Blanca & Roja
by Anna-Marie McLemore
It started out strong and then for 70% of the book nothing much happened. I was searching for a beautiful fairytale retelling and this gave me a lovely story with great Latinx characters in a mix of Hans Christian Andersen's and Brother Grimm's tales, which I would love to see more of.
But there was way too much repetition, things said too much, but not enough, things done too much, but not when they were needed. It took me ages to finish it and I'm happy I finally did, but this could also have been a DNF, without me missing out on much.
Pity, as I was certain this would turn out to be a new favorite. Unfortunately, not one for me, but I'm sure others will find it a great book.
