This was intense for only a few dozen pages! This started off with so much action and suspense, eventually settling into a "Okay, now let's explain what's going on" pace. Honestly, if it's this exciting to start with, I can't imagine what the rest of the book must be like! I was initially fully drawn in because of the Filipino folklore, it's such a rare find that I always immediately go for, but this excerpt was crazy good. I cannot wait to read this book!
