While I liked the overall premise and tone of this story, unfortunately the way the plot was executed did not keep me engaged and the characters felt one-dimensional and lackluster. I think part of the issue with the plot is it never felt like there were any major stakes involved. I felt no sense of suspense surrounding the mystery, so never felt fully invested into the plot nor an edge-of-my-seat need to know what happens next. This, paired with the slow pace and lack of momentum made the book feel like it was dragging. If the book had allowed more of the political climate of the setting come into play, I think it would’ve made for a much more engaging and interesting read. I will say the tone and writing were consistently strong throughout, but unfortunately that wasn’t enough to make up for the plot and pacing. As for the characters: Maite is an unlikable character, which I don’t have a problem with in general, but she was written almost to an extreme caricature of a self-centered, annoying, vapid, superficial, boy-obsessed teen—despite being thirty. If this had been toned down a bit, I wouldn’t have found her so insufferable, and it may have made me more interested in her character arc. Elvis was a bit more dimensional, but their two storylines felt so disconnected and incongruous—despite their shared goal of finding Leonora—that it didn’t work for me. This might very well be a book that works for fans of noir fiction. However, I don’t have much experience with that genre, so can’t speak to how successfully it accomplishes what it set out to do. Thank you to the publisher and NetGalley for the eARC in exchange for an honest review.
