Bruja Born by Zoraida Córdova

5.0

BRUJA BORN follows Lula Mortiz, a young bruja with healing powers who is doing her best to recover from the traumatic experience in Los Lagos caused by her younger sister. She’s doing everything she can to hold it together, to go back to normal but when tragedy strikes, Lula defies the Deos and takes her own desires for normalcy too far. Only she can return the balance of the world, though it might take more of her than she’s willing to give.

It’s really interesting to notice how rereading changes an experience with a book. I found I was more impatient with Lula’s character the second time around; I wanted her to reach her conclusions faster and begin making amends faster. The first time I had a greater connection to her emotional trauma and how this affected her behavior. However, I am still obsessed with the way the magic expands in this book and how the cast of characters grows. I loved Lula and her journey in this novel and I cannot wait to finish this series!
