I'm so torn about this book. I love the concept, but I'm really struggling with the execution.

Really interesting how the author has mixed and matched cultural influences despite this being largely based on precolonial Tagalog society. Pineapples, 'hour' as a unit of time, and the concept of 'mano' exist (IRL these came to the Philippines only via Spanish colonization); various Tagalogs are tattooed (WHS claimed Tagalogs didn't tattoo themselves). Not criticizing, I'm just finding it interesting.
