As a story, I enjoyed stepping into the world of Mexican folklore. The world was rich, but so too were the characters. There's a great conversation here about traditional male and female roles in the 1920s Yucatán. The characters had excellent internal struggles which I really appreciated and the relationship between the gods and mortals, the gods and their underlings, and the gods and one another were all interesting.
I'll be perfectly honest - this book was fantastic, but I wasn't able to mentally focus on it the way I wanted to by no fault of the author. I think if I'd been able to close my eyes, quiet my mind, and give the book my full attention, this would have been a 5-star read. As it is, it's one I'll likely revisit.
