Simultaneously heartbreaking and heart-mending, Gods of Jade and Shadow is a wondrous and magical tale about choosing our own path. I felt weepy and happy and hopeful when I finished - everything you want to feel at the end of a great story - Kevin Hearne, New York Times-bestselling author of the Iron Druid Chronicles and Kill the Farm Boy Set in a lushly rendered and gorgeous world, this is historical fantasy at its best: a fresh, feminist coming-of-age tale that lets the ancient and the new meld and clash in a tale you can't put down - S.A. Chakraborty, author of The City of Brass and The Kingdom of Copper An evocative and moving fairy-tale about a downtrodden girl and the Mayan God of Death and how they both find each other and their humanity together . . . Loved it. Highly recommend - Rebecca Roanhorse, author of Trial of Lightning Part Jane Eyre and part Cinderella story, Moreno-Garcia's Gods of Jade and Shadow is a beautiful fantasy tale based on Mayan mythology.

Moreno-Garcia successfully retells this myth with a beautiful prose and description of a Mexico of the 1920s - A Wondrous Bookshelf Gods of Jade and Shadow was an easy, fun read that enchanted every step of the way, with the mood of a classic fairytale drifting beneath a whirl of Mayan myth and 1920s Mexico - While Reading and Walking A magical novel of duality, tradition, and change . . .

Readers will gladly immerse themselves in Moreno-Garcia's rich and complex tale of desperate hopes and complicated relationships - Publishers Weekly Starred Review A lush, bittersweet tale of courage, love and carving your own place in the world . . .
