corazon is impatiently awaiting the day she can start training as a babaylan with her aunt tina. she plans to bring her parents back from the dead as soon as this happens. as of right now, though, she’s able to see them using a soul key. when this is taken, she embarks on quest to lay the ghost thief to rest and awaken her magic.
roshani chokshi is one of my favorite authors, so i was really eager to read this book touching on both magic and grief. this book is inspired by filipino mythology, which i honestly don’t know much about, but this made me definitely want to learn more. there was a magic house (which reminded me of one of my favorite movies, encanto🥹), magic creatures, and ghosts around every corner. the discussions of corazon’s and her aunt’s grief pulled at my heartstrings and really made me tear up.
