Book #01 for #HispanicHeritageReads 2017.

I enjoyed this so much. I've just finished and my heart is still a little in my throat. I will say that I thought the beginning was a little awkward in terms of setting up lore and characters. Not bad, but a little too on the nose, a little too heavy with the exposition, and lacking a bit of grace. That's the main reason this is 4 instead of 5 stars, but I can assure you that the story finds its footing, and just astounded me with the richness of the lore, the sweetness of the characters, and the fullness of the plot. I was invested, I was worried, I couldn't wait to keep reading more.

I loved Moreno-Garcia's [b:Signal to Noise|22609306|Signal to Noise|Silvia Moreno-Garcia|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1411422208s/22609306.jpg|26580567] and now I loved this. I cannot wait for [b:The Beautiful Ones|33574143|The Beautiful Ones|Silvia Moreno-Garcia|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1500030880s/33574143.jpg|54122902], as I have a feeling Moreno-Garcia is going to cement herself as one of my new favorite authors.
