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

3.0

It amazes me how few fantasy adventure novels take inspiration from Mayan mythology. Moreno-Garcia’s prose is beautiful and you can feel a respect for Mayan culture and myths throughout the book. A lot of my issues are specifically because of the audio book. I just felt like the narrators voice was a little too old for Cassiopeia yet her tone infantilized her at the same time. I think a different narrator/reader/presenter would bump this to a 4 star.
