A review by oracle_of_madness
The Encanto's Daughter by Melissa de la Cruz

5.0

MJ Rodriguez has always hidden in the human world. However,  she is half Encanto and next in line for the throne.  When her father suddenly dies, it is her time to claim her place on this throne. 

This is a ya romantic fantasy that is inspired by Filipino mythology.  

I loved how it felt like a bit of a thriller/murder mystery mixed with this very sweet romance! I absolutely loved all the attention to Filipino culture in so many big and small ways.  Bc, let's be real, this is what reading is about ya'll!!!!! I love learning about a different culture while reading a great story. This is not a really long book. It's a fairly quick and easy read, and I just really enjoyed it. 

Out March 5, 2024! 

Thank you, Netgalley and Publisher, for this Arc!
