I love a magical realism story.

A large family with a matriarch with multiple secrets, and how this family comes together to solve the mysteries and survive.

Encanto meets 100 Years of Solitude & Water for Elephants.

Really struggled to get into this one - had a lot of trouble feeling connected to the characters and the pacing felt uneven. Wasn’t my cup of the!

I normally read a book in 3 days max, but with the start of school it took longer for me to read it—not because it wasn’t fantastic! I thoroughly enjoyed this book and everything about it! I would recommend this book to anyone who wants to venture into the fantasy genre but still wants a solid message and not a lot of world building. Awesome book!:)
