The beginning was fun, it had potential, but then it fell flat.
Plot: Sofia, a free woman and her former owner, Adelina travel to Carnaval in search of Sofia’s brother who has been missing for five years. Caught up in the magic and mysteries that come with the island, will Sofia get swept away in the magic of it all or escape?
My Thoughts: I wanted to love this book so much! The synopsis hooked me from the start, but I don’t think it was executed well. It was entirely too long, and could have been shrunken down a tad. Even the ending was a little eh. Probably because I read about Sofia walking around and writing letters for most of the book. One entire chapter was dedicated to walking….
