The Return of the Sorceress by Silvia Moreno-Garcia

4.0

A tight, well-constructed novella with a fascinatingly sharp-edged main character and a vivid world with delightful magic. There's grimness and horror (what do you expect, when magic is powered by blood and the vibe is very Aztec) but also genuine connections between people and not-people, and people making interesting choices, and it was a great way to spend an hour. Also the nahual is best.
