Overall, this was a pretty good read. I loved all the magic woven throughout the book, I think Córdova always has a good sense of fantasy in her books. I was more engaged with the Orquídea flashbacks than I was with the chapters involving the cousins, although I still enjoyed those. While Marimar and Rey had some great characterizations, splitting the chapters with them and Rhiannon or Tatinelly sort of made all the cousins a little less distinguished from one another. Flipping between the past and present made it hard to focus on the present sometimes. The book definitely has a slow burn element to it, as things start happening very quickly by the end of the third section. I almost think this book could have been a little longer, to give the cousins more room to breathe. Still, I'm glad I read this!
