A review by moonytoast
Gods of Jade and Shadow by Silvia Moreno-Garcia
medium-paced
2.5
I really liked pieces of this story: snippets of prose, overarching concepts, and certain themes. However, the overall book itself felt too meandering in its plot and tone. Casiopeia has the foundation of a great, compelling character, but at moments she just feels like an empty vessel. I still really loved the Mayan mythology here and I will very much be reading other works by Silvia Moreno-Garcia in the future, but this was a tough read.
Graphic: Death and Violence
Moderate: Physical abuse
