Actualmente no hay Conversaciones sobre este libro. 2.25 stars. there was a little too much going on here and too many characters for me to easily keep track of (maybe i would have done better reading rather than listening to this one). some of the fantastical elements were easier for me than others but this was a nice sprinkling of fantasy mixed in, versus being overwhelmed by the fantasy. i'm trying to expand my ability to read fantasy and this was a good choice, even as i didn't love it. ( ) 4.5 but heartily and happily rounding up! "The Inheritance of Orquídea Divina" is a deeply unique story that very truly has no equal. Córdova tells a magical, multigenerational tale that just begs the reader to keep going deeper into the strangeness and wonder of the Montoya family. I read this over a couple weeks to savor it, but part of me just wanted to rush through the whole thing to find out what was happening! The biggest weakness is that the climax/final explanations happen very very quickly and at the 11th hour, however that doesn't take away from the beauty of the rest of the book. Lastly, there is a HUGE sort of infodump near the beginning where the reader is introduced to the extended family very quickly and it's admittedly a bit overwhelming. I would say just check the family tree at the start of the book if you're not sure who is who at first, but honestly (like with any other large cast book) it gets easier as the book progresses. If you're a fan of magic realism, multiple POVs, family stories, and a tad of otherworldliness, this should be your next read! sin reseñas | añadir una reseña

Los Montoya estn acostumbrados a una vida sin explicaciones. Han aprendido a no preguntar por qu la despensa nunca est vaca, o por qu su matriarca nunca abandona su casa en Cuatro Ros, ni siquiera para las graduaciones, bodas o bautizos. Pero cuando Orqudea Divina los invita a su funeral y a recibir su herencia, todos esperan descubrir los secretos que tan celosamente ha guardado durante toda su vida. Sin embargo, en lugar de eso, Orqudea se ha transformado, dejndolos con ms preguntas que respuestas. Siete aos ms tarde, sus dones se han manifestado de diferentes maneras para Marimar, Rey y Rhiannon, la hija de Tatinelly, concedindoles inesperadas bendiciones. Pero pronto, una figura oculta empieza a avanzar con rapidez por su rbol genealgico, acabando con ellos uno por uno en un intento de destruir a toda la lnea sucesoria de Orqudea. Decididos a salvar lo que queda de su familia y a descubrir la verdad tras la herencia de la matriarca, los cuatro descendientes viajan a Ecuador, el lugar donde Orqudea enterr sus secretos y promesas rotas y nunca mir atrs.
