A family drama imagined and brought to life through a delicate and poetic voice.  In The Inheritance, Cordova creates a lyrical tapestry about generational trauma, claiming your own destiny, and writing your wrongs.

While it’s a mystical and whimsical tale, it’s also firmly rooted in the realities and experiences of large and loving migrant families, exploring the complexities and strength it takes to forge out a new life so your loved ones can thrive. It’s a beautiful story. 

There were some elements of the magic system and back story that I didn’t quite understand, but it didn’t detract me from anything.
