This month's pick for our online book club read is Gods of Jade and Shadow by Silvia Moreno-Garcia

It's OK to attend if you didn't finish the book, but spoilers including the ending will be discussed.

I don't have a pro Zoom license anymore so you'll need to use a second meeting link after the first link times out after 40min. I will post both links closer to the event. (I have tried discord and the sound is terrible for multi-person online meetings)

From Goodreads: The Jazz Age is in full swing, but Casiopea Tun is too busy cleaning the floors of her wealthy grandfather’s house to listen to any fast tunes. Nevertheless, she dreams of a life far from her dusty small town in southern Mexico. A life she can call her own.
Yet this new life seems as distant as the stars, until the day she finds a curious wooden box in her grandfather’s room. She opens it—and accidentally frees the spirit of the Mayan god of death, who requests her help in recovering his throne from his treacherous brother. Failure will mean Casiopea’s demise, but success could make her dreams come true.
In the company of the strangely alluring god and armed with her wits, Casiopea begins an adventure that will take her on a cross-country odyssey from the jungles of Yucatán to the bright lights of Mexico City—and deep into the darkness of the Mayan underworld.
