(Subdue) Return to the Enchanted Island by Johary Ravaloson – 2 Stars (Rounded up)

[Hannah]

This is the first book I have read written by a Madagascan author, and I appreciated the opportunity to learn more about the culture and mythology of that country. There were three main stories to this book, which did make it quite confusing and disjointed Unfortunately, I found the character to be so spoilt and privileged compared to others that I didn’t have any sympathy with him throughout the story, especially because quite a lot of time in this book was devoted to the main character lusting after different women which didn’t move the book along at all.
