This series.

I had reservations about this series because I didn't like Labyrinth Lost. But I am glad that I went through and read the whole series. While I didn't care for Alex's book, Lula and Rose had a great story. And while I wouldn't recommend Labyrinth Lost by any stretch of the imagination, I do recommend reading all three of them. These books are win afterwards.

This was a beautiful way to end the trilogy. My heart is so full after reading Rose’s adventure. It perfectly encapsulates all that I imagined her to be.

Este libro prometía, pero se ha quedado en un bluf. La mayor parte del libro es paja, no pasa nada y es aburrido. No me llegaron los personajes ni la trama.

Rose Mortiz, the third and youngest of the three sisters, and the one with some super strong ability of taking in other's magic, the magical hacker. In this book we start with her deathday, months after the events with Lula and finding that she can't believe the family is happy and safe yet, feeling that something is missing and that the built happiness is fragile. And so, she does a truth spell that cause a rift with her father that somehow leads to their capture towards the realm of Adas.

This was more like Labyrinth Lost, which I wasn't really happy for. I was very excited to get to know Rose's strange abilities but found that maybe this book was trying to do many things at once. Solve the mystery of the father, save the world of Adas, deal with Deos again, deal with tales that go through worlds, have a superhero team to save the world of adas, more family dynamics even without all of the people there, deal with memory loss and forgiveness and of course deal with the weird ability and power hunger. As you can see, there's a lot. I enjoyed the book but a lot of times I didn't connect. Oh wait, there's also a little romance that was brushed over.

I enjoyed the book, don't get me wrong, I still loved Rose but I can't help but feel that there was a lot brushed over and put together just to have the plot be interesting. So yeah, I guess my favorite is still the second one.

A romp in fantasy and inclusion of nonbinary characters.

I was was SO excited when I was approved for this book on NetGalley because I have been waiting for Rose's story since Labyrinth Lost. I love my girl Alex, but I was always so curious about Rose and her powers - especially when they started to change. This book did not disappoint. It is a fantastic, lyrical, inclusive story that transported me to the world of Adas. It's a world that feels so new and exciting, but at the same time familiar because I can see myself and my family in these sisters and their culture. This story is a celebration of being Latinx and the places we come from and it made my heart sing.
I loved how this book connected to the others in the series; I feel like because I know about Lula and Alex I could understand Rose's struggle that much more. But I also liked how the story was all her own and about coming into her own and embracing her own power. I loved the new characters introduced especially Iris and Lin. I loved how this book, in a series where family and sisterhood are foundational, takes that concept and expands it and makes it mean so much more.
This book is a wonderful conclusion to the story of the Mortiz sisters. However, I am asking once again for a Nova book!
*Thank you to NetGalley & SOURCEBOOKS Fire for the e-arc of this book.*
