A review by therese_nook68
Vampires of Portlandia by Jason Tanamor
3.0
Thank you to NetGalley for approving me for an ARC! Did not realize I had it until the book was archived.
3/5 stars
CW: death. Lots of death
Interesting twist on Filipino mythology-- at least what I've known to be Filipino mythology, don't know if it's accurate per say (my knowledge of the myth, not the novel's). I really like learning how this fantastical world was integrated into a more modern day take.
My biggest issues with the book is that while I loved the descriptive writing, I found it to get repetitive and start to tell us what is happening rather than showing up and it stated to drag the story for me. My other issue is that there were too many threads going on and it was hard to pinpoint all of them and seeing what exactly got wrapped up and how things happened.
While this book wasn't my cup of tea, I am excited to see what else Jason Tanamor comes out with in the future!
