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

5.0

Casiopea is trapped in her grandfather’s house in a small town in Mexico, cleaning floors and attending to the whims of her spoiled cousin. Her dream to escape comes true when she accidentally frees Hun-Kamé, the Mayan god of death-but this dream is quickly becoming a nightmare. Hun-Kamé did not come back whole and Casiopea is forced to travel across the country with him to restore his full self . This book is a dark fairytale inspired by Mexican folklore while also being a fun road-trip novel, like an adult equivalent of "Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief."
