The Monsters We Defy by Leslye Penelope
4.0
adventurous funny mysterious sad tense medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Plot
Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: Yes
Diverse cast of characters: Complicated
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

This is a magical realism story mix with real history and it worked out really well. A magical heist, good characters, and a really well told story makes for an awesome book.
I also really loved the afterward or author's note, it gives a lot of insight on the history the story is based on.
