It's still disappointingly rare to see clear, coherent visions of a pre-colonial Philippine world brought to life. Wing of the Locust does this brilliantly, with particular focus on the awesome, terrible magic of the mambabarang.

“Tuan had convinced himself that he wanted to be a mambabarang because he was friendless ; that being a powerful monster was better than being a nobody. Being weak and ugly meant being cast off, just as alone as he would be when he was feared. At least, being feared meant that he would be not weak”.

Despite having flawless vision , i literally couldn’t see that there are 3 moths on the book cover. My not so artistic ass is so dumb thinking that its just some beautiful pattern
