4.0

The first third was slower than other books I’ve read by SMG, but there was a lot of context to set in order to build a strong world.
Overall, I really liked the fact that the flaws in Monsterrat were used in the climactic scenes in ways that caused her to doubt herself. I also appreciate that while the tension between Monsterrat and Tristán was thrumming in the background, it wasn’t a central plot line and wasn’t overly romantic.
