A review by alingtori
Si Janus Sílang at ang Labanáng Manananggal-Mambabarang by Edgar Calabia Samar
adventurous
dark
mysterious
slow-paced
- Plot- or character-driven? A mix
You've got to hand it to the Edgar Samar—he knows how to write a climax and a cliffhanger! Istg that last chapter was wild!
The second book of the Janus Silang series introduces us into the world of the bagáni and their own version of history. There's nothing much I can say about this book as I think this is more of a set-up for the next one. New (non-human) characters and another world are introduced but the author did not elaborate on them further. There's more mystery and less action but it's not really a bad thing. This, coupled with that ending just made me want to read the next book immediately because WHAT THE HELL IS HAPPENING?
Also, I finally know why Janus kept on saying dilang-karayom ng manananggal!
