A fast paced and incredibly fun urban fantasy novel that draws on elements of Caribbean folklore and culture to create a story that is equal parts fascinating, refreshing and unique. It is honestly so exciting to see more and more stories featuring diverse characters in the young adult category, especially stories featuring magic systems and mythology not based solely on European culture. I loved the beautifully vivid descriptions, the fusion of art and magic, the realistic and three-dimensional characters, the vibrant city backdrop and the dark, almost eerie, atmosphere that really bring this story to life. The author doesn't stop at just crafting an urban fantasy rich in cultural identity and tradition, but also touches on things like racism, discrimination, gentrification, self-acceptance, body image and family. Highly recommend, especially for younger readers looking to step foot in the young adult urban fantasy genre.
