Gods of Jade and Shadow by Silvia Moreno-Garcia
4.0

This is a beautifully written book with a beautiful plot. The characters have strong dynamics between them. The magic and Mayan mythology is delicious to read! There is a very slow burn romance which doesn’t pick up until almost the very end of the book, but it’s there! So for romance readers, you might be a tiny bit frustrated if you’re looking for a romance plot.

The book does feel “told” by a fireplace more than written which is one of the most magical parts about it. If I had to give any critique is that it felt a tiny bit slow at points but it was nothing that I readily noticed.

I’ve read Mexican Gothic from her as well, and she always has a way of creating this enrapturing worlds that truly make you escape.
