In the late 80s in Mexico City three friends discover they can do magic through music. At first they use it to improve their lives in small ways, but then it becomes a tool for revenge and like with most stories of magic in a group of friends someone gets a taste for it, When things reach a head, the trio go their separate ways and only reconnect decades later when the ring leaders father has passed away.
I liked the back-and-forth from the past to the present. It helped you get a full picture of the friends and their relationships with each other. However, they’re never seem to be any clear conclusion to the story. And I don’t understand the repetition of chapter 20 in chapter 22 when there was no new information shared unless I totally missed something.
Was a unique story and I think it really could’ve been something great but for me, it fell A little short.
