A fun first instalment that brings together themes of gender identity, friendship, and Mexican gods/folklore.

Pros
• beautiful worldbuilding
• solar punk features
• interesting gods and magic systems
• good lore
• well written disabled characters
• diverse bodies & beauty standards represented

Cons
• super “young adult”
• characters aren’t relatable as they’re so young
• some elements were misplaced for a fantasy novel, such as use of mobile phones & testosterone injections. These felt too close to reality & I would’ve liked them to feel a bit more fantastical for a world with dioses and semidioses


Would highly recommend for someone younger especially
