I adore this series and I think Isabel’s book might be even better than Ana Maria’s. Isabel is a delight as the wallflower working as a spy for the Mexican government. I love how we see her come into her own and gain confidence. Sirius is a snack, despite being a soldier and a blond. I do wish there had been a bit more of a reckoning of his career within a colonial power, as I can’t imagine this would actually sit will with Isabel’s beliefs. Despite that I enjoyed their relationship and hope we get more of them in Gabby’s book.
