Going back to the Mortiz family is always refreshing and you know you are in for a ride!

On this, the third installment of the Brooklyn Bujas series, we follow the traditional formula of Zoraida Córdova and accompany the journey of Rose, the youngest sister.

After all that her family is being through, is Rose's time to discover what it means to be a Bruja, and in her journey she will learn about her new found power (all happening in Bruja Born), the back drop of her father's disappearance (a mystery so far), will gain new friends, brush love and, as expected, embrace the power that her family ties entitles.

With an amazing fantasy world building, the books takes us to the fantastic fae realm and face the young characters to a devouring disease that threatens to make all disappear.

Reading this book, was a nostalgic experience, remembering the beautiful, yet crazy, family dynamics and heritage, and extensive lore (hinted at the beginning of each chapter with the quotes from the book of DEOS and the Diaries), learning about one self, pushing boundaries and at the end of the day, closing an atmospheric and lovely trilogy.

Highly recommended for fantasy lovers of all ages!

An ARC of this book was kindly provided by Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.

I think I would have enjoyed this more if I had realized it was the 3rd book in a series before I finished it.

Apparently it isn’t common to like the last book in a series more than any of the others, but I do. I kept reading the Brooklyn Brujas series because I love what Zoraida Cordova stands and writes for, and this series has all the ingredients for me to love it, but I was always kind of eh at the end of the books—no longer! Rose is my favorite, her story is my favorite, and I loved seeing the world, mythos, and Mortiz family expand. Maybe it’s a case of needing the last piece in the puzzle to see everything clearly, but I really enjoyed this series, it makes me happy.

Enjoyed the series & this book. This sisters personality does kind of bug at times but liked the storyline.

Sooo good. A little slow towards the middle but soo lovely with a fast and delightful ending.
Rose and her father are taken to the land where her father was lost before and in order to return home Rose must save the Kingdom of Adas and become one with her magic.

I was given an advance copy in return for an honest review.
