Paola Santiago and the River of Tears by Tehlor Kay Mejia
3.0
3,5/5
Fun book and an overall easy read. I don't care what anyone says I'll defend Paola Santiago until I'm not in this world anymore (astronomy lovers have to support each other after all).
But, the book at times felt a little lacking???, especially in character development for anyone who wasn't Pao or Ondina, this perfectly showcased through Dante with whom I couldn't even bring myself to care that much about him and his "boy-girl weirdness", as the book describes it, with Pao.
Maybe if the book's synopsis hadn't already told directly at your face that La Llorona (who appears for less than 4 chapters) was going to be a main part of the story I would've like it more.
I'm still going to read the rest of the series, In hope to see these issues resolved.
