Review of Madres (2021) by Jluis_001 — 18 Oct 2021

I found it more competent than I initially expected because it manages to invoke a good atmosphere of suspense and an engaging mystery.

However, as this mystery begins to unfold, the story also starts to lose pace and impact, and its final act responds more to a portion of anguish rather than horror.

The closing with the mention of eugenics applied to immigrants feels gratuitous and insubstantial because it seems like a device that tries to justify this story in general, but fails in a resounding way to give a real voice to that issue.
