Thank you so much Atria Books for gifting me an ARC in exchange for my honest opinion!
I'm aware that The Inheritance of Orquídea Divina is a standalone, but how much should I beg for Zoraida Córdova to reconsider?
This book was magical and written very gently. Words picked out carefully.
Córdova made sure we felt like we gained a new family. We grieved with them, cheered with them, laughed with them.
For a moment, and a moment being 322 pages, you felt like you were a part of their family. Joining their adventure and wishing for their happy ending.
I felt like I was floating through the pages, not flying. I was gently, but rapidly, floating.
But beside that, this book was eerie. Breathtakingly thrilling.
At some point a thought crossed my mind: Zoraida Córdova must have a magical computer or pen. Everything She writes turns into a beautifully curated story.
I must sound very vague now, but that's how reading this book feels. That's all I can really say about it.
Once you start reading it, the story won't let you go. It will live in your mind, rent free, for a while.
Reading this book was an experience I will remember. This isn't just a five star book. This is a book I'll randomly think about, pulling it from my bookshelf to just flip through it.
Rereading this, will most likely give me the same feelings as I got when I read it now. On a sunny August in 2021.
Orquídea Divina Montoya left a mark on not only her descendants, but on the readers too.
But...
That's just Orquídea being Orquídea.
P.s. Where's that film deal at?
"The Inheritance of Orquídea Divina" comes out on September 7th.
