Falling into Rarohenga by Steph Matuku
3.0

3.5⭐️

This was such a fun book!! I love any and all mythology, but Maori mythology has been an obsession of mine for years, so this was especially fun for me to read. I would have read it a lot faster, but I kept getting sucked into research rabbit holes every time some creature or god was mentioned, I was having a blast lol. My one gripe was the relationship between Tui and Kae; holy shit was there bickering ever annoying! I get that they’re children, and I did like how their relationship developed throughout the course of this book. But I could have done with a little less bitching between the two of them
