I finally finished rereading ZORRO while I hung around outside with Casey! It wasn‘t terrible, but it wasn‘t anywhere near as gripping as it was the first time, either. Sadness.
At least I made a bit of space on my Keepers shelf.
I took an early bike ride to get ahead of the heat, with a stop-off at McDonald‘s for an iced coffee and a bit more of ZORRO. I‘ve decided I‘ll stick with the book, but I‘m not sure yet if I‘ll read the rest of it straight through or take another break at the end of my current Part.
Bedside book stack: Solstice edition.
ZORRO was one of my top books back in 2006, when its long descriptive paragraphs and scant dialogue pulled me straight into the characters‘ world. Here in 2022, that approach has had the opposite effect on me, and the anti-Indigenous bias sours things even further. I‘m not sure if I want to bail or make it an in-between book, but either way, I doubt it‘ll stay on my shelf after this long-awaited reread. 😔

Overall, I enjoyed this story of how Diego de la Vega came to be Zorro, even though it felt like it took forever to get there at times. This novel is as much, or maybe even more, a historical fiction as it is an adventure novel.

Another title that has been languishing on my shelves. I don't know why as Allende is one of my favorite authors.
pick¡Por fin lo terminé!
It took way too long, but I finally finished reading this. I really like the spin Allende put on the Zorro legend. I especially liked the narrator 😉

An action packed adventure with a masked marauder! Even the female gets to sword ⚔️ fight!
