On
her Deathday, Alex is supposed to get her family's magical blessing
and be welcomed as a bruja. But Alex doesn't want her power, so she
plans a ceremony to rid herself of magic on her Deathday. Instead of
losing her powers, she loses her entire family in the blink of an
eye. She learns they've been taken to the realm of Los Lagos, where a
monster known as the Devourer is waiting for her and her magic. Alex
descends into the underworld, a place between life and death, where
she must rescue her family (both living and dead) before their souls
are devoured and lost forever.
Labyrinth
Lost
is a great adventure story that mixes the old with the new. Bruja is
Spanish for witch and in many Latin American countries it's not
something to be proud of, but in Brooklyn, in a day and age where
magic is fading and technology is everywhere, a new type of hero is
born. With issues that speak to the poor, people of color, and the
LGBT+ community, this is a book filled with diversity, just like our
modern world.
