OH MY GODDDDD. I cannot rave enough about this book!!! The blend of cultures, the richness of the writing, the characters, the story, the mythology. It was all woven together so well I couldn’t put this book down. Yadriel ( gorgeous gorgeous name ), and Julian were everything to me, and the absolute angst and heartache I felt for these two toward the end before the BIG REVEAL. Ohhh, I was rooting them for them all the way. Maritza was the perfect supporting character, and the appreciation and absolute wonderment I have for the traditions and the community and the way of life in this book can’t be put into words. It really is a tale of love, and loss, and grief and acceptance, of gain and clarity. All told through Yadriel’s eyes, and his struggles in his community as a transgender Brujo. This is definitely one of my top 2024 reads thus far!
