I was very confused. Most likely it is because I do not know the myths and stories already. It was an interesting story and insight into a different culture

Okay this was good. I love the concept, the story, the world-building (hello Filipino mythology and magic ðŸ˜), but I feel like it needs a bit more polishing.
It can get a bit confusing in some scenes/timelines. However, I have to say the story was atmospheric and the plot twists were just so good. Because of that, it felt like this book packed quite a punch even though this was a short read.
Would have loved to see more stories from this world 🥺 The Filipino mythology interweaved with urban/modern life? Very nice. Loved the small bit of queer rep as well. And the colors were on point!
