Honestly there should be a follow up to this novel. Simply unfair to reel us in so deep into every character’s life and then just… stop. Not ok with this.

An endearing, heartfelt story that asks some key questions about identity, community and representation - I already can’t wait for Nava’s next book.

“People are always arguing about which stories are true and which are not. It’s a pointless argument, for all contain a speck of truth about our world and ourselves. The only thing that matters is this: some stories are protected, safeguarded, and others are left to fade with time.”
Sofia Robleda, Daughter of Fire

“are even worse than them. They see only one truth, one story, and they take it so seriously they’re willing to kill those who think differently.”
Sofia Robleda, Daughter of Fire

“The K’iche’ were the dominant Maya group, and their capital city, Q’umarkaj, was situated in the rocky Guatemalan highlands.”
Sofia Robleda, Daughter of Fire
