But soon, a hidden figure begins to tear through their family tree, picking them off one by one as it seeks to destroy Orquídea’s line. Seven years later, her gifts have manifested in different ways for Marimar, Rey, and Rhiannon, granting them unexpected blessings and powers. Instead, Orquídea is transformed into a ceiba tree, leaving them with more questions than answers. But when Orquídea Divina invites them to her funeral and to collect their inheritance, they hope to learn the secrets that she has held onto so tightly their whole lives. They know better than to ask why the pantry never seems to run low, or why their matriarch won’t ever leave their home in Four Rivers - not for graduations, weddings, or baptisms. The Montoyas are used to a life without explanations. I’d been looking forward to reading it since checking out a review of it over on Lair of Books way back in 2021. Here we are with my second 5-star read of the year.
