4.5 stars

I finally read this gorgeous book, and I’m glad I did. I loved the whimsical plot and the lyrical writing, the magic and the intrigue. I especially loved the Nomeolvides women, and their dynamic as a multigenerational family. They were all strong, fierce in their own way, and honestly admirable. I liked Fel and Bay, too.

This book has Latinx, bisexual, and genderqueer rep, but I don’t fall under any of those identities and therefore can’t speak on them.

I wouldn’t call this book a favorite, but I did really enjoy it. I look forward to reading more from Anna-Marie.
