Lucha of the Night Forest
Lucha of the Night Forest | Tehlor Kay Mejia
1 post | 2 read | 3 to read
An edge-of-your-seat fantasy about a girl who will do anything to protect her sister—even if it means striking a dangerous bargain. Dark forces, forgotten magic, and a heart-stopping queer romance make this young adult novel a must-read. A scorned god. A mysterious acolyte. A forgetting drug. A dangerous forest. One girl caught between the freedom she always wanted and a sister she can't bear to leave behind. Under the cover of the Night Forest, will Lucha be able to step into her own power...or will she be consumed by it? This gorgeous and fast-paced fantasy novel from acclaimed author Tehlor Kay Mejia is brimming with adventure, peril, romance, and family bonds—and asks what it means for a teen girl to become fully herself.

Mehso-so

The book was hard to follow and it put me to sleep a few times. I wasn't entirely sure where we were going for most of it and when I did know, i felt a bit lost. The pacing was both fast and slow, and the character dvpt for Lis (Lucha's sister and her motivation) esp felt nonexistent. I thought the romance was a nice twist but hmm, overall a meh. It just felt a bit rushed :/

coffees So what was good? The sisterly bond, the woods, and the powers. I think it had a lot of unique elements! https://bookmarksthat.wordpress.com/2023/03/26/blog-tour-lucha-of-the-night-fore... 13mo
