4.5
hopeful informative reflective medium-paced
Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: Complicated
Diverse cast of characters: Yes
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

I did not know anything about the drug wars in the Philippines or President Duterte, so I am appreciative of learning something new. I also don’t think I have ever read a book that takes place in the Philippines, and I would like to read more.
