Shadowshaper by Daniel José Older
4.0
A good YA novel with a great, full-developed Afro-Boricua protagonist! Loved the infusion of Puerto Rican and LatinX language and culture. Story was ok but ending came and went so fast, I barely understood how Sierra, the newly minted and titular Shadowshaper, was able to defeat the big baddie! The climactic battle could have been more fully realized, but the spiritual world-building of the Shadowshaper community throughout Brooklyn made it a totally worthwhile read!
