Wow! I haven‘t read a book like this…ever! It takes place in a world that, at first, seems normal, but as time passes becomes more and more strange. I LOVED the twist that dawned on me only immediately before it was revealed, and found the adventure extremely entertaining! I‘ll be thinking about Kess and her Museum of Unnatural History for a long, long time.

A novel dealing with lots of different real life issues. I enjoyed the characters and their complex personalities. One character caused upheaval deeper than tolerable. Her behaviors broke my heart more than once. The love of family, not necessarily blood related, had me enjoying this novel. 4.5/5⭐️

I listened to the audio of this book but had to show off my pretty special edition! 😍 I LOVED the story!! Give me pirates and demons and untapped magical potential, yes please! The found family aspect was especially lovely, as Mar struggles to trust in their relationships with others
I'm so glad #riseupreads gave me an excuse to finally read this one! @Catsandbooks

I went to the farmer's market and picked up some bacon quesitos and spicy gummies today. They are the perfect treat to have while reading 📚 😍

AmyG Oh yum to the spicy gummies. 1w
InkedBookworm13 @AmyG yes! They were Tajin covered gushers. My kiddo got the taking covered needs clusters. Both were really good. 👌 1w

This intergenerational story about family secrets, sisterhood, the masks people wear/the roles they play, reputation, & family honor never quite came together for me. In Korea, 105 year-old Hak Jeonga receives news that has her, & much to her dismay her sisters, rushing to America to deal with some family problems. At stake is the revelation of long held secrets that could shake the family. A low pick for me—I just wanted more from the story.

ElizaMarie I tried this one a couple time (chapter 1) on audio and I couldn‘t get into it. The reviews make me think it‘s gonna be a great story but not for me. I‘m sitting out this month 3w

History, ships, pirates, queer characters - what's not to love? Exactly! Sure, at the end it got a bit too much YA for me, but I think in that age readers just need that. Everything else was just an awesome ride. I loved how Mar grows and learns to accept themselves, Novoa wrote their journey really good and I think a lot of young readers will relate. And maybe some of us older ones, too?
