A review by miocenemama
Gods of Jade and Shadow by Silvia Moreno-Garcia

5.0

I loved the integration of Mayan mythology with 20th-century society. I loved the references to Mexican history and the images created by the author's language. I tried guessing the ending several times, but it took a twist I did not expect. I loved that the story did not follow the traditional fairytale romance. Still, the ending was satisfying, the characters were appealing, and the writing was luscious.
