This was actually so interesting and mysterious. Antonia was definitely autistic coded minus a few things that aren't possibly real. I really enjoyed the Spanish setting and I can't wait to read the next book.

Despite finding the story a bit confusing, I was still intrigued by the mystery and how it was solved. I particularly enjoyed the relationship between Antonia, the main character and Gutierrez, and would like the read the next ones.
