i loved it. it reminded me of reading the percy jackson series in a way. going on this journey with an ancient god. my goal this year is to read more authors of color (especially latina authors, as i am latina!) but so often the books are centered around trauma or a dictatorship. it wears me down sometimes. this was so refreshing because it was inherently mayan and mexican but without the shroud of trauma. it took me on an adventure and i enjoyed it so much. her writing is definitely elaborate and flowery, though. would love to chat about this book.
