#BookReview: Wayward Witch (Brooklyn Brujas #3) by Zoraida Córdova

Synopsis: Rose Mortiz has always been a fixer, but lately she’s been feeling lost. She has brand-new powers she doesn’t understand, and her family is still trying to figure out how to function in the wake of her amnesiac father’s return home. Then, on the night of her Deathday party, Rose discovers her father’s memory loss has been a lie.
 
As she rushes to his side, the two are ambushed and pulled through a portal to the land of Adas, a fairy realm hidden in the Caribbean Sea. There, Rose is forced to work with a group of others to save Adas. Soon, she begins to discover the scope of her powers, the troubling truth about her father’s past, and the sacrifices he made to save her sisters.
 
But if Rose wants to return home so she can repair her broken family, she must figure out how to heal Adas first.

Rating: 3 Stars
My Review: "Wayward Witch" by Zoraida Córdova is a spellbinding addition to the Brooklyn Brujas series, offering a captivating blend of magic, adventure, and family bonds. The story follows Rose Mortiz as she embarks on a journey to the magical land of Adas, where she must navigate new powers, political intrigue, and personal growth.

Córdova's world-building is exquisite, bringing Adas to life with vivid descriptions and imaginative details. The magical realm is richly layered, filled with enchanting creatures, complex politics, and ancient traditions. Rose's journey through this world is both thrilling and poignant, as she grapples with her identity and the responsibilities of her newfound powers.

Rose is a compelling protagonist, characterized by her bravery, resilience, and deep love for her family. Her internal struggles and growth are portrayed with authenticity and depth, making her a relatable and inspiring character. The supporting cast, including Rose's family and new allies in Adas, are well-developed and add depth to the narrative.

The plot is fast-paced and engaging, with plenty of twists and turns to keep readers hooked. Córdova expertly balances action, emotional moments, and magical elements, creating a story that is both heartwarming and exciting. Themes of family, identity, and empowerment are woven seamlessly into the narrative, adding layers of meaning and resonance.

However, some plot points could benefit from further exploration, and a few secondary characters, while intriguing, might have been given more development to enhance their impact on the story. Despite these minor issues, "Wayward Witch" is a thoroughly enjoyable read that leaves a lasting impression.

"Wayward Witch" is a delightful journey into a world of magic and self-discovery. Zoraida Córdova has crafted a tale that is rich in emotion and adventure, making it a must-read for fans of fantasy and young adult fiction. It’s a powerful story about embracing one’s identity and the strength found in family, earning its place as a standout in the series.
