While the rest of her family is out of the house for the day, Casiopea’s curiosity gets the best of her and she opens the old chest at the foot of her grandfather’s bed. They live in the small town of Uukumil, but Casiopea dreams of going to the city of Mérida someday, far from her grandfather and her equally nasty cousin Martin.Īnd one day she gets her chance. Eighteen-year-old Casiopea Tun lives with her grandfather Cirilo Leyva, a very rich but cruel man who beats Casiopea and treats her like a servant. This time she tackles Mayan mythology and gives us a tale filled with magic, gods and a dark journey to the underworld. Gods of Jade and Shadow is completely different from her other books, which is one of the things I love about her: she never seems to write the same thing twice. Somehow I completely missed her last book, but I was determined to read her latest, not only because of the stunning cover, but because I love how complex her stories can be. Silvia Moreno-Garcia’s Certain Dark Things is still one of my favorite books, and it’s always exciting when she releases something new. The nitty-gritty: Mexican mythology mixed with a 1920s vibe makes this a stand-out fairy tale. Gods of Jade and Shadow by Silvia Moreno-Garcia This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review. I received this book for free from the Publisher in exchange for an honest review.
