Failure will mean Casiopea’s demise, but success could make her dreams come true. She opens it-and accidentally frees the spirit of the Mayan god of death, who requests her help in recovering his throne from his treacherous brother. Yet this new life seems as distant as the stars, until the day she finds a curious wooden box in her grandfather’s room. Nevertheless, she dreams of a life far from her dusty small town in southern Mexico. The Jazz Age is in full swing, but Casiopea Tun is too busy cleaning the floors of her wealthy grandfather’s house to listen to any fast tunes. I had high hopes going into this book, but I wasn’t entirely sure what to expect – how would this compare to other similar books? Hello Humans! Today I’m finally sitting down to write the book review for Gods of Jade and Shadow – which was, in fact, the first book I read as part of my A Book A Day in June challenge.
