This is one of the best Filipino novels I've ever read, although, I am honestly not an ideal judge with only a few local novels read under my belt. I still would like to give my thoughts about this book.

This book is definitely one of the most unpredictable stories I've ever read, both local and international. I'm quite glad that my Panitikan ng Pilipinas 12 had tasked us to read it. It was quite worth it. I've enjoyed diving into the incredible weave of the folklore and the family history of the Nuevas. The inclusion of many imagery made every single second of reading worth while for it urges the reader to think deeper, to analyse critically what the authors wanted to say.

It is definitely worth my time and money!
