Cecilia is used to her life being uprooted as each of her mother’s marriages end but she wasn’t prepared to return to the town where her mother grew up to a mansion that’s the talk of the town due to a family curse and La Cegua. As she gets more acclimated to her new environment it quickly becomes clear that something isn’t quite right. 

I really enjoyed this story overall. The pacing felt a bit all over the place so there were times I found myself thinking “okay what’s next?” I appreciated the weaving of folklore and the discussions surrounding power, subjugation, and worthiness.  The ending was satisfying and I found myself wanting to stay a little longer in that slice of life moment.
