I fell in love with the characters! The fact that this book had a magical/supernatural plot line with a queer, transmasc, Latinx main character really resonated with me from the start. A small issue I have with one part is
how did Maritza save Yadriel without animal blood? How she did it isn’t revealed, so it’s just a little odd. I guess that just adds on to the “you can always go against tradition, fight norms, etc” message, but if you don’t follow it up with solid context, it just ends up feeling empty.
