Loved this story! I love how the dialogue effectively conveyed the myriad dialects/languages of Malaysia. Jess's growth was wonderful to see throughout the book. I love this type of book where all the gods are real and sharing the space with each other, and it was cool to see that set in a pantheon I am not as familiar with, and the author ended with book with lots of resources to learn more about it!
I do wish the book was a little bit longer and could have more fleshed out some parts (like the relationship with her parents.)
