Magic isn’t fuck around.
Magic is find out.

a queer polyamorous retelling of orpheus and eurydice with some other mythology thrown in set to the backdrop of miami.

unfortunately i'm not very familiar w the source material, so i think it was less impactful for me that way. however, i still enjoyed reading it. the lush, tropical settings and imaginative verse made this a vivid read; i think it could actually be a really cool as a stage adaptation because of the dance, music, and photography elements.

it deals w some heavier topics for teens but i think appropriately so for a YA book. overall i preferred my other read from this author (the ghosts of rose hill) but i'm excited to read more from them.

My name is Andres Santos, and I believe I have more love than darkness to give.
