I had a fabulous time reading this. I adored the plot. It was simple and engaging -- not twist. The main characters, Asiri and Dario, were adorable and I had fun watching them dance around one another before they got together.

I really enjoyed this cozy fantasy, it was super wholesome with a set of very lovable characters. The Peruvian mythology and culture was interesting and the setting was so enchanting. Altogether it gave the feeling of a fairytale. I do wish the writing style was a little less simplistic and more mature to match the content of the book. The random Spanish words thrown in were kind of weird too, I know it was trying to set the scene since they would’ve all been speaking Spanish the whole time, but it didn’t read like how Spanglish is really used. Also, I know the vibe was meant to be cozy, but I would’ve appreciated more depth. Asiri’s father came off as a kind of cartoonish villain and then didn’t end up playing a role in the story. Asiri made a huge life change but never seems to have any serious conversations with anyone to process it. I’m also not a huge fan of the miscommunication trope which was a big part of the conflict. I think with a bit more development and editing this could’ve been a 5 star cozy fantasy, but I still really liked it!
