I am a die hard fan of this author. Her books are my "drop everything and read" books. So of course I was going to jump on an audiobook immediately. Especially when I also like the narrator!
I love Meche. I also love the other characters but especially Meche. These kids are just trying to seize power but they are too young to understand the consequences, or the reason for things being the way they are. It is also kind of romantic.

I’m happy to read almost anything Silvia Moreno-Garcia writes.. We follow the dual timelines of our main character Meche from the 80s and the mid-2000s. In this storytelling, we can see how much has changed for her, and how family relationships and friendships have been fractured. She has a brain for numbers and is obsessed with music, and it’s through these passions that she begins to believe magic can be found. While this wasn’t my favorite Moreno-Garcia, and our main character was very unsympathetic, I found myself engaged throughout. The fact that this was Moreno-Garcia’s debut speaks to her caliber as an author.
