Update a few days later: The ✨vibes✨ of this book (like a Western but without all the whitewashing of the actual "Old West") have really stuck with me, I think it's worth the read for that alone, plus for anyone who reads for language/prose.

This book also contains (friendly) snakes so anyone afraid of snakes may want to avoid.katieimre's review against another edition

The characters were really strong though. Luz was a great lead and I loved learning about the history of her ancestors. I really liked Luz and her brother Diego’s relationship, but it felt like it got dropped after the beginning and didn’t get picked up again till the end. I wanted more of that.
I think maybe just the jumping around timelines, even within Luz’s own life, made the book feel disjointed, and the ending was especially confusing and abrupt. But I appreciated the characters and I do think it was well written. If you like character stories, definitely give it a try!
