This book was a bit boring for me. Because of that, I lost focus and the book felt slow. I had expected more colorful storytelling, but it was mostly historical. I’m not very familiar with the wars that took place in Chile, so it felt somewhat distant and hard to relate to. The relationship also felt a bit flat, which made it seem unrealistic.
