5.0

As a Mexican American with not a lot of knowledge of Mexican history, I love that this story explored an important time period. It added to the uncertainty and the theme of power, especially women's and native/mestizo people's power.

The story was a little predictable and slow, but I love the lush descriptions of the setting.
