I do love the Latin culture, LGBTQ+ teasers, and where some of the plot lines seem to be going, and I’m looking forward to finishing the series and seeing the resolution. Just a bit below my reading level and the amount of detail I prefer in a book.

Throughout the book, I was very easily pulled along to see what was going to happen next. I enjoyed the world-building and clear inclusion of Latin-American culture and the seamless inclusion of LGBTQ+ people into the world. I am excited to see where things go in the sequel and I already placed the book on hold at my library. I hit about halfway through this book and knew I just needed to keep going with these characters. Hernandez did a very solid job of keeping me invested and waiting to see where we would go. Very fun!

All in all, I loved how immersed we were in the story, but it is unusual for the genre.

Something I loved about this book was that the name bearer has no name. And when she goes through transitions in her life
The friendship in this book was probably my favorite aspect. Watching them grow from young girls to women was incredible.
I thought the concept of this book was utterly fascinating. I hope to learn more about the flowers of prophecy and their origin in the sequel.

While not an egregious cliffhanger, there's a lot unresolved by the end. So glad the sequel is already out!
