I really liked the characters and the premise. I especially loved the weaving of Spanish into the conversations and that it is the language of magic! The only reason I cannot rate it higher is because I found the pacing off. Through the middle of the book, I found myself not as eager to pick it up. The beginning had me fully engaged and of course the ending. But the middle I struggled with a little bit.
Anyways. I think this story can actually stand alone so I'm determining if I will continue on! I originally thought it was a duology but it looks like it will at least be a trilogy.
