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

4.5

I’m really glad I didn’t write Silvia Moreno Garcia off after disliking Mexican Gothic. This book is very different, and much more enjoyable to me. As others have said, the first like 25-30% is a bit slow. After that, I felt myself obsess over this book. I couldn’t stop thinking about it until I finished it. 

I enjoyed the ending more than I thought I would

even though it’s not the traditional “happily ever after” I wanted with a fairytale like book.

I also found the tension between Hun-Kamé and Casiopea delicious but

the resolution left me wanting a bit more.

I almost wish the plot of this book was split into a Duology.
