I didn’t love this as much as I was hoping to. Might still read volume 2 and see how far I get.

Ten years after a traumatic childhood event, bisexual (or pansexual, specific wording is not used) Brooklyn Bruja Alex comes to terms with her magic in order to save her entire family! This high stakes adventure is filled with great small moments reminiscent of classic fairytales, like a ferryman that gives you access to a boat but doesn't take the risk of being in the boat with you.
This pantheon of Gods and the explanations of how these magics work were spellbinding. I appreciated the resistance subplot in Los Lagos.
The characters are complex, and the kind of love triangle presented is one of the better ones I've read. Nova as a character brings up important conversations surrounding poverty and privilege, that's all too real. I'm looking forward to more of Rishi in the sequel as well.
One star deducted for the repeated phrase 'bipolar eyes'. What does that even mean? I don't know how something like that makes it past editing.
All in all, this was an enjoyable read and features one hell of a cliffhanger.
