Enchanting book. It made me miss Seville and its Holy Week so much. Great illustrations, too.

Many details about Holy Week in Seville, and bullfighting. What constitutes a popular bullfight, the stages of teasing and then killing the bull, etc.
The story and characters were straightforward, with not much nuance. Each character is driven by a singular obsessive goal.
It was a short book, just 1.5 hours to read.

A brief story I wish I'd read before I went to Spain. It's most useful for understanding some of the finer aspects of bullfighting, which I knew nothing about when I attended my first corrida in Sevilla.
Overall, not a super engaging story to me, but the information about bullfighting and the illustrations still made it a book worth reading to me.

Slow moving, awkward narration style. Too much background, not enough story.
