Hard to Follow
Published by Dani , 1 year ago
I so wanted to like this, I really did. It's plot sounded incredibly intriguing and the brush of Filippino history was effortless, but I was 100 pages in and had no idea what was happening. Syjuco uses multiple writing styles, tenses, and threads to connect the overall plot, but the problem is all the threads are so abrupt it never really connects. One minute the narrator is reminiscing about his life, the next you're reading the murder victims journal, and the next you're reading a newspaper article. And there is absolutely no transition or rhyme or reason to the jump. It's not a new chapter. It's not a transition. It's just so extremely abrupt and jarring that I kept getting taken out of the plot.
