You don't know how much I missed those characters and this story (⌒▽⌒)☆
I took 3 years to get the physical copy of this book because I wanted to complete my collection os the series, and I'm really glad I read it physically because it's a different vibe okay? 😤
It's completely different when you know you're gonna love the book to have in your hands when you read it!
Anyway, I loved how the story is different but also it's connected to the previous books. I love all the characters (Zane, Brooks, Ren, Hondo, and everyone else, even the gods but except Ixkik and Zotz they can go both rot in hell). I loved the conclusion to the story while still leaving out a few plot points ready for other stories (like the rogue godborns and a story about Ren - aka The Shadow Bruja series).
Like they seem like plot holes and they are purposefully left open, it felt perfectly in balance (*´▽`*)
Honestly I love this story because I love me some good mythology and I never read anything concerning Mayan mythology before, so this series was a great introduction to it! ヽ(*・ω・)ﾉ
I will certainly miss those characters I spent so much time with and they grew up with me. I will definitely read these books to my kids one day! ♡( ◡‿◡ )
