![]() ![]() Where the first book in the Brooklyn Brujas series takes us away to a magical world, Bruja Born keeps us in New York and keeps things grounded. ![]() ![]() The times this book has made me cry is ridiculous. Above all, we feel Lula’s whole heart that is ever certain. Where she had us feeling uncertain and unsure with Alex in Labyrinth Lost, we have such an unwavering feeling of anger, betrayal, and realization. Córdova is absolutely amazing at creating two completely different people with different and distinct manners of speech, of thought, of feeling. Labyrinth Lost has moments where I would stop and think why are you so foolish Alex, and then I would realize well of course she’s foolish, she’s a young teen! So when Córdova switches to Lula’s point of view, it was such a difference. That said, Bruja Born completely blew Labyrinth Lost out of the water. Though I loved Lula in Labyrinth Lost, I wanted to see Alex’s story continue. ![]() Though I was initially hesitant on what Bruja Born by Zoraida Córdova could be out as I discovered that the narrative focus would change from first book in the series, Labyrinth Lost, where we followed bi/pansexual Alex and her story, to that of eldest sister Lula. ![]()
