A Fierce and Subtle Poison by Samantha Mabry

3.0

With the promise of magical realism and a Latin landscape, I was expecting something akin to Gabriell García Márquez. What I found was a book that spent 2/3 of its pages building to a climax of which I no longer cared to know the resolution. The ending felt rushed and lacked a sense of planned deliberateness.
