The Inheritance of Orquídea Divina by Zoraida Córdova
3.0
Magical. Haven't read anything like this in a while.
That being said, I can't give it 5 stars completely because of something the author does in her writing that I didn't like.
Here's one spoiler example...
Swear words are fine with me, but when inserted in a somewhat lyrical and beautiful paragraph, I get distracted and get pulled out of the magic.
But the story and characters are good. Just read this when you're in the mood to suspend your disbelief.
I liked Tatinelly's character a lot. Her calmness is relaxing. Marimar was a bit annoying at times for me. Rey was funny. Rhiannon was a sweetie pie. I enjoyed reading Orquidea's character a lot, her story is interesting. Just when I thought I've guessed a plot, I find out that I haven't!
Overall a good read. :-)

"When the Londoño Spectacular Spectacular made its way across eastern Europe, Agustina wanted nothing more than to stop Orquidea from making a mistake that would alter the course of her life. The girl had already been born under a cosmic whirlpool of bad luck. She didn't need Bolivar Londoño III adding to it. Then again, she knew better than to try to alter destiny. The way she saw it, they were all fucked either way." (emphasis mine)
