I listened to this on audio. Urrea's narration is 5 stars. I love his voice, and his reading of this. But overall I did not love the book.
I didn't realize this was a continuation of Hummingbirds Daughters until I got into it. It is a very different book. More of an immigrant story then a magical origin story. I found the book humorous, and the writing solid. But my attention kept wondering. It could just be my mood but it was not as engaging of a story as the first.

My only complaint: the last hundredish pages felt a bit rushed to me, so much time was covered with not enough attention paid to it. Besides that, I loved it.
