Welcome to Litsy!

Jess, having recently moved to Malaysia w/ her parents, starts hearing a voice in her head that claims to be her grandmother who needs help w/ some unfinished business. Only then Jess gets mixed in w/ a god, gangsters, & family secrets.

I really loved the world building & the fantastical elements in this. But there was something about how Jess & Ah Ma‘s relationship shifted that bugged me. & this got much darker than I usually enjoy.🌕🌕🌕🌗🌑

I'm in an alliterative phase, apparently. 😅 😉

It‘s not that I haven‘t read a lot of McGuire, it‘s that I want to read even more! I want to get caught up on the Incryptid series. I want to read the copy of Middlegame someone gifted to me years ago. I want to reread the Wayward Children series to get ready for the next one!

After the deaths of their parents, 3 sisters find their lives being drawn into different directions from the magical tearoom they run together.

This was delightful! I loved the historical fantasy setting, the sisters‘ relationship was both complicated & lovely, & there was some plot misdirection that kept me guessing. The sisters did feel a little too similar sometimes, & I‘m not a fan of miscommunication for angst‘s sake. 🌕🌕🌕🌕🌑

I was really interested in this book, the magic system is unique and it's urban fantasy, but I struggled with the writing. It was hard to follow and juvenile.

Aside from two characters, the others were assholes with no personality that communicated via banter. I legit couldn't figure out who was talking sometimes, they were all the same.

There were also some things that rubbed me the wrong way including some mean jabs about weight.
