I am shocked that there aren't more Latine historical fantasies out there. There is definitely gap in mythology fantasies for kids this book fills, since there aren't a lot of those that focus on Mesoamerica. The world of this graphic novel is wonderfully built, full of gods, creatures, and magic, with enough action and character to delight younger readers.

There were times where I fell off the plot a bit. Lots of elements at once that I couldn't keep up with that were presented in a very vague way. It packs a lot into one volume and it can get overwhelming at times.
