Lucha of the Night Forest by Tehlor Kay Mejia
4.0
Beautifully written, this book dives down deep into the bonds of sisterhood, the desire for justice and freedom and the pull of love.
Lucha is this fantastically strong protagonist with an incredible amount of love in her heart. When her mother is lost to a drug called Olvido and leaves her and her sister with nowhere to turn, the two are taken by an evil ex childhood friend of Lucha’s, as a demonstration of his power…
While imprisoned, Lucha strikes a bargain with an old god. Now, she finds herself on a quest through the Forest with her ill sister and the beautiful girl she won’t allow herself to have.
This book is filled with magic. There is such a beautiful darkness in this story, though I wish that we got a little more than just Lucha’s perspective.
