A review by crunchycrystals
Lola by J. Torres

3.75

REALLY liked the way the story doesnt explain everything to you immediately but lets you slowly piece together what happened through the characters' expressions. wish there was more stuff about the lola's backstory like more about her experiences with supernatural creatures and used the funeral setting more. the art was really nice and i loved the small details in the setting to make it feel more like the philippines like the mosquito net or the jeepney. i feel like this was supposed to have a sequel and im sad there wasnt bc theres a lot of stuff i wouldve been interested in hearing about like
the thing about her baptizing people in a river and jesse thinking he was being drowned??? and the plane thing at the end </spoilers> along with more potential myths that couldve been used. but yeah fun book quick read
