This is phenomenal YA fantasy Mesoamerican inspired story; centered around our two main characters. Thier names are; Indri and Saya. We watch and follow along how thier lives unfold. How both women are affected by an ancient prophecy that affects not only their lives, but also the lives of thier loved ones and the people around them. Indri and Saya have more than a few things in common. Both have been raised their whole lives to be quiet and to never call attention to themselves. Indri is trying to hide secrets that she's too afraid to tell anyone about for the fear of own her life and endangering everyone else. I found Indri admirable as I followed her through out the book and I loved how she was independent, but still found comfort with her Aunts and stayed close with her family. Saya is trying to figure out exactly who is it that she has been running from her whole life and if things were really more than whay they seemed. I found Saya's life, from the beginning of the book, quite relatable and how she reminded me so much of how I used to be when I was younger. Saya was relatable because she wished for things that I still wish for these days as well. It was like the author read into the very deepest, darkest corners of my brain and wrote Saya in disguise. Wow, I was stunned with how relatable Saya was and I actually cried in two separate parts of Saya's chapter becuase of how much her thoughts and feelings struck mine. Also, I loved how Saya had the courage, independence and wish for real genuine love.
The book cover is instagram-able and correlates well with the story. I especially love the hardback cover of the book. It has an astonishingly beautiful gold hummingbird symbol on the front which also perfectly goes along with the story.
The writing was easy to follow and kept my attention at every page. The plot-twists were incredible. I simply could not put this book down! I highly recommend it to everyone searching for a fresh and addicting story to get sucked into and away from all the cliché trends. Pick up this book and read this right now!
