I love love love love love Latinx authors so much. I love the bouncing narratives. It's not written confusingly. I love the interconnectedness of the world so much, it's so real! I love the bits of future; it all ties so well together especially bc this is a historical story so we kinda sorta already know what's gonna happen, it's all just so beautiful!!! I loved every moment but especially Ada’s story. What a queen boss ass bitch love her down.
The only thing I didn't like was taking long to get back to the characters. Which isn't a flaw of the writing! It was great for the flow of the story! But still! I loved the characters so much I just wanted to keep their story going!
