The Spirit Glass by Roshani Chokshi
4.0
Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for the eARC of this novel. 4/5 stars.
I freaking LOVE Rick Riordan Presents novels, and this was no exception. While this is low middle grade (the MC is 12), it deals with grief and trauma and death and there are so many beautiful one-liners and quips from Saso where I didn't want to put this down and also didn't really feel like it was middle grade.
Set in a beautiful, magical landscape of spirits and ghosts, Corozan must find a way to send a spirit back home while also dealing with the death of her parents a few years ago. She's a magical being though, but her magic is locked inside of her and she doesn't know why. She also has her anito, her animal, Saso, who is just an absolute delight. I really loved the mythology and the characters and everything else in this.
I didn't like how it ended though, because it's a standalone but so many things were opened up in the last few pages where I just want....more? I also think some of the timing and the plot was meh, but I also loved this.
