In the Midst of Winter

This one wasn't great. It just didn't work for me. It considerably picked up by the end, I liked the inside look and reality of asylum seekers, and it had many of the parts of her books that I love. Unfortunately, by the time it picked up I just wasn't as invested in the characters. I'm definitely going to go back and read some of her older books I haven't explored yet and I still look forward to it.

I would rate this book 3.5 stars and though I liked the book, I would've made the pace of the book quicker and just progress the plot. I loved the characters and it was quite easy to follow them in their journey from Latin America and The United States. I liked how the characters' flaws were showcased and how the plot progressed as the places changed throughout the novel.
