Aaaaaaahhhhh, this was so good! I loved the world building and the mythology, I could’ve spent another three books in this world, it ended so fast! And while the ending didn’t end how I’d like, it still fits for the characters and I just loved it so much.

This one was outside of my comfort zone but I really enjoyed it.
Giving the god more and more human qualities in such a clever way made me appreciate the old folk tales even more.

An interesting tale mixing Mexican folklore and the 1920s
wrote a review and then accidentally closed out of it so never mind I guess. the book was overall good but I didn’t vibe with the characters or writing style. I loved the mayan mythology though and mythmaking aspect.

I can confidently say at this point I’m a huge fan of mythological tales especially those mixed with historical fiction. This book checks both boxes. I am disappointed however because my library classifies this as adult fiction and it read very teen/young adult to me. I felt the depth of the characters was not very strong and the plot was very predictable. I knew from the start I was going on an adventure with Casiopea, but by the halfway mark I became quite bored and disconnected from the protagonist, and that never changed by the end. Still a very cool read and recommend to those interested. 3.5 stars.

“Mythmaking. It's greater than you or I, this tale.”
!!! What a beautifully written book. The characters, the prose, the story
