I enjoyed this much more than Mexican Gothic, which is the other book of the author's I've read. Where that book was laconic and lacked soul (for me), this one is a sweet and deep adventure story that draws on Mayan mythology and the strength of character possible in a mere mortal. I wished for a different ending, but only because I'm a softie.
