A review by leer_amor
Blanca & Roja by Anna-Marie McLemore

4.0

I was really looking forward to this book since McLemore’s book Lakelore was so amazing, and while I did enjoy this novel and thought it was a beautiful and unique retelling, I felt that the pacing was a bit of an issue. There were a few time skips that werent explicitely stated and confused me a bit. And there was a bit of a lack of description for surroundings. That said, the fig lang was gorgeous and I absolutely loved the mentions of pepitas and cascarones, two things I have never seen in any book by a Hispanic or Mexican author Ive read so far. Good vibes, good soup.
