A review by onamoonbeam
Pedro & Daniel by Federico Erebia

dark hopeful sad slow-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? Character
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

3.5

this is. very heavy. if you are considering reading this please look at the content warnings. that being said. it is somewhat hopeful. a testament to a bond between brothers. i'm conflicted whether or not to dislike the language for its simplicity. on one hand, it reads as overly childish on occasion (works well in earlier chapters when the brothers are young, but over time it seems more telling than showing). on the other, who am i to fault a man for looking back at incredibly painful childhood experiences, and laying the facts of his life out?
an english major, i guess. 
loved the dichos as testament to daniel's mind and behavior and also just unique

rounded up to 3.5, was debating btwn that and 3.25.
NOTE: i own the uncorrected proof, no idea what's changed between this and published copies.
