Gods of Jade and Shadow by Silvia Moreno-Garcia
5.0

What a fun, fantastical romp through Mayan myths and culture. Mythology of all kind fascinates me and the author wove a wonderful tale sprinkled with Mayan mythology.

Cassiopeia is a headstrong and defiant teenager living with her extended family after the passing of her father. Her aunts, uncles and grandfather look down on her and her mother for her mother's choice in a partner. Martin, her cousin, has been a constant thorn in her side bullying her since her arrival. After a chance encounter with a wooden chest and a set of bones, Cassiopeia's life changes dramatically.
Well written and interesting read. I recommend it for anyone that likes mythology, stories of main characters feeling out of place in their life and fantastical adventures.



SPOILER

Please tell me we will get a second novel or short stories about Cassiopeia and Loray's traveling automobile adventures!!!!!
