A review by noelle_tofigh
Forest World by Margarita Engle

3.0

This was a Battle of the Books read. The verse was well done and at moments struck me as really beautiful. But I had a hard time connecting with the characters and their situation. The tempo was off for me too, some parts seemed rushed while others dragged. I wished for more descriptions of the island of Cuba. My team will read this over the next few weeks and I’m curious about their opinions...
