* I got this book for review from the publisher for my honest thoughts*

I found this to be engaging read that focus on myths, growing up and friendship. I also loved how this book focus on young minority girl and really loved how Chicago was the setting of this book. I thought the villain of this book lord of shadows was a fun villain and loved how the myth world was developed. I also like maya and her parents dynamics in this read. I thought the pacing of this book was not as strong as should have been and i also thought there was some massive info dump moments but i grew to love the world and the characters. I will def be checking out book 2!
