I loved reading the last two plays. Blood wedding was confusing, long, and boring. I wouldn't read it again and I give it 1 star. Yerma was fascinating. Easy to read, entertaining, and special. It deserves 5 stars and I'll definitely read it again. The House of Bernarda Alba was captivating and I finally understood why is such a regarded classic. However, I felt the ending was rushed, and there could have been more space for character development. In my opinion, it deserves 4.5 stars. Coming into these books I expected nothing. But I got so much insight into what it means to be a woman, and the standards society places on us. Overall, this compilation of books gets 4 stars from me
