Beschreibung

The first book in the Latinx-infused Queer fantasy series from Zoraida Córdova, highly acclaimed author of The Inheritance of Orquídea Divina, that follows three sisters―and teen witches―as they develop their powers and battle magic through epic questing in the realms beyond.
Alex is a bruja and the most powerful witch in her family. But she's hated magic ever since it made her father disappear into thin air. So while most girls celebrate their Quinceañera, Alex prepares for her Deathday―the most important day in a bruja's life and her only opportunity to rid herself of magic.
But the curse she performs during the ceremony backfires, and her family vanishes, forcing Alex to absorb all of the magic from her family line. Left alone, Alex seeks help from Nova, a brujo with ambitions of his own.
To get her family back they must travel to Los Lagos, a land in-between, as dark as Limbo and as strange as Wonderland. And while she's there, what she discovers about herself, her powers, and her family, will change everything…

I didn't always like the way it was written but otherwise "Labyrinth Lost" was cute, the story was nice, the characters well-developed, the magic and world-building interesting. I expected the romance to be cliche (not a bad thing in itself but I'm not a fan of the particular trope this book seemed to include) but my expectations were subverted (more than once) in a way that followed hints the story was littered with that I didn't dare to believe until they were confirmed, making it a realistic and coherent arc that I loved. I am a fan of the family theme this book catered to and the way it tied in with Alex's arc. This very much reads like a stand-alone but leaves a few smaller things open, that I hope and look forward to see unfurl in the coming two books.
