A review by saintmaud
The Hacienda by Isabel Cañas
dark
medium-paced
- Plot- or character-driven? A mix
- Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes
most anticipated book of the year for me and it… was just okay. knew i shouldn't have fallen for the "mexican gothic x rebecca" marketing but I'm a simple girl who loves gothic stories. mexican gothic works because it takes a normal story and makes it Weird™ this book unfortunately does not :/ Nothing about the setting, characters, plot was particularly intriguing it just felt bland to me. I think the fact that I read this on dark, rainy days helped the mood more than the writing.
Graphic: Fire/Fire injury, Blood, Death of parent, and Murder
Moderate: Rape and Alcoholism
Minor: Abortion, Animal death, and Vomit
