Review Detail

First of all, look at the cover! I love it, it's gorgeous! It would be difficult to pass by a book with cover like that. And I always have been fascinated with myths of underworld or world in between, like Greek myth of Hades and the Underworld. Labyrinth Lost is a similar story with Spanish/Latin American origins and Dia de los Muertos inspiration. I don't know much about Day of the Dead myths and traditions and for me Labyrinth Lost was a good way to dip my toes in.

The author created interesting fantasy world steeped in Latin folklore and legends, the world of brujas and brujos, magic and cantos. I also liked her strong and complex characters, Alejandra, her sisters and Rishi; Nova with his secrets and his tortured past. I really enjoyed Labyrinth Lost and the fact that it is very different from any other YA fantasy book out there.
