    Journey to freedom

It starts like a Cinderella story. Casiopea and her mother live with her family that disowned them years earlier. So they are treated like servants. One day Casiopea resurrect a captured god by accident. Together they go on a journey to help him back on his throne.

I read this book because I’m visiting the Yucatan peninsula soon and wanted to know more about Mexico and its culture. Normally I’m not that into stories about gods, but in this context I tought it interesting. I would have just wished for another ending, more like the Cinderlla-“happy ever after” than an open ending that leaves room for speculation.
