There were a lot of plot holes and as many others said, the fantasy or magical realism elements weren’t introduced very effectively. That said, I got into the plot and wanted to know how it would end so I finished it and had an enjoyable time reading it. I recommend reading the end acknowledgements section after finishing the book as it provides interesting true history related to the story and left me with a more satisfying end to the book!
