 --> I didn't like the whole "let's pray God will help me" throughout the novel. It was like Elisa wasn't able to do anything, everything was done by God, chance or the others. The plot about the Godstone and the magic was promising, the resolution was a bit of disappointing (I don't like when characters find the things they need by change many times) 
 --> I didn't like that this book is a good example of too much tell instead of show. Elisa was always insecure, always not feeling worthy, but then out of nowhere she does everything right because she channels her inner Alodia or what? She was always telling one thing and then doing another. It annoyed me a lot. 
 --> I DID like Humberto, Cosme and Hector. They are great characters. 
 --> I DID like the whole almost-Spanish names, although I couldn't quite believe the dessert settings. I expected more "heat", but never felt it... 
 In summary: not the best fantasy book I've ever read, but quite interesting, and I am intrigued by how the story will continue... which means, I'm going to read The Crown of Embers very soon.
