A review by therearenobadbooks
Lulu Sinagtala and the City of Noble Warriors by Gail D. Villanueva
adventurous
informative
lighthearted
medium-paced
4.5
Great Representation of bisexuality and epilepsy.
What a fun and energetic middle grade filled with adventure, good fighting evil, and Tagalog mythology.
Eleven-year-old Filipino Lulu suddenly discovers that all the people she knows and the place she calls home are not exactly who or what she thought to be all these years. She also begins to remember another self.
With super strength, like a Marvel hero, she will do her best to keep her family safe from the evil plans of Maligno.
A great homage to the Filipino folklore that suffered from the Spanish imposition and dominance in the past recovers its lore with lots of action and humor. Deities obsessed with K-dramas the Korean wave of popularity and many other modern pop culture references that make the dialogue fun.
I'm so pleased that more books are being released that represent and teach us more about other cultures, their rich mythology, deities, creatures, demons, and legends.
I'm glad this is a duology.
Perfect for fans of Aru Shah.
