I think this could have been about 50-100 pages shorter but I really enjoyed this. Watching

Yadriel fall in love with Julian

was adorable 🥰 I love the diverse representation in the book and learning more about South American customs. This reminded me of the Disney movies, Encanto and Coco. 

I listened to this on audio and there was a short interview with the author at the end. Aiden sounded so cute and was so excited that he had a trans, queer person narrating his book. I loved his enthusiasm and excitement. I would definitely read more from him. I’m 👀👀 The Sunbearer Trials next.
