I apologize for the lack of posts in case anyone else is actually reading this blog.
It's been a busy month.
I have been reading as much as ever, just missed a few posts.
Maybe I'll go back and get them...
Mexican Gothic
by Silvia Moreno-Garcia
3/5 stars
⭐⭐⭐
I actually finished this book last week...
This is the second book I have read by Silvia Morena-Garcia.
Previously I read G-ds of Jade and Shadow, which I absolutely loved.
Unfortunately, this book was MUCH slower paced, and I just not care for it as much.
It took me almost half-way in to really care about the characters,
and it felt like about half-way was where the action truly started.
Even though both books are sort of magical realism, for whatever reason, GOJAS just seemed more plausible than this one. It took forever to figure out what was really happening, and the action was set up so much quicker in Jade and Shadow.
At any rate, where I would recommend Jade and Shadow, I really can't say the same for Mexican Gothic. Too slow and out there for me.
