The book is very beautifully interwoven with Mexican myths and legends.  I liked the story a lot.  It was beautifully written and the storytelling style was absolutely amazing.

Lo siento pero dnf. Estaba al 57% y aún no estaba pasando absolutamente nada, así que no voy a perder mi tiempo leyendo esto.

La trama tenía bastante potencial y al ser ambientado en México me llamó bastante la atención pero ir a más de la mitad del libro y que me aburra totalmente hace que no me apetezca leerlo en absoluto. Es MUY lento y uff… No es para mí. Demasiada descripción innecesaria y el romance entre una persona de no sé cuántos años con una adolescente de verdad que no me llama en absoluto, más bien me irrita🤷🏻‍♀️.



(Si alguien se lo ha leído al completo y me dice lo que pasa al final pues guay, pero tampoco me quita el sueño).

Solid book but the ending was a tad predictable and slightly disappointing. The teased romance was flat and pretty much went nowhere but the family dynamics and folklore was really good.
