The Sacrifice by Rin Chupeco

dark mysterious tense medium-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix
  • Strong character development? It's complicated
  • Loveable characters? It's complicated
  • Diverse cast of characters? Yes
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

4.0

I absolutely loved the way that Filipino folklore was used and the horrifying imagery that came with it. I also loved its themes of anti colonialism and the way that exploitation was tackled. I do think that some of the characters are a pretty shallow and bland and I wished that they were more distinguishable (I kept getting multiple cast/crew members confused) but this was a very fun read overall!
