5\/5 stars<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I picked this as one of my add-ons in my August Book of the Month Box, and I’m so glad I did. I will admit, the cover drew me in first and I was a little unsure of the story since I typically do not read historical and fantasy fiction (except for Harry Potter<\/em> of course). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I really loved this book. This is a wonderful story that examines morals, family, loyalty, and independence. It follows a feisty and independent protagonist, Casiopea, who meets a death lord trying to reclaim his rightful throne.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Silvia Moreno-Garcia transports you to Mexico in the 1920s for a world filled with fantasy and myth. It’s Cinderella story that had me rooting for Casiopea as she grapples with family loyalty and her own independence. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The vivid imagery and character development had me falling in love with the story and even the most unlikeable of characters. By the end, I was truly sad that the story was over. I wanted so much more, not because the story was lacking, but because I missed the world Moreno-Garcia created.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I am not sure how, but I am hoping Silvia Moreno-Garcia writes a sequel or turns this into a series. I absolutely need more of the world she has created. At the very least, I could easily see this as a movie. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is an incredible fantasy that will let you forget reality and enter the intriguing world of death and gods.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
