“ . . . an impressive, commanding novel about black girl magic . . . The Goddess Twins is an emotive and powerful feminist novel that inspires the innate goddess in every girl..” —Foreword Reviews “Family bonds create the magic in this stirring fantasy.” —Kirkus Reviews It’s days before your eighteenth birthday, but your mother is missing and suddenly you have supernatural powers. What are you willing to face to discover the truth of who you really are? After years of traveling the world, black identical twins Aurora and Arden think they’ve settled into normalcy in Ohio. But days before their eighteenth birthday, the snarky twins develop powers in telekinesis and telepathy?at the same time that their famous mother, who’s on tour in London, disappears. Searching for answers and determined to rescue her, the sisters unearth truths that threaten to extinguish their bond and demolish their strength as individuals. Can they trust their beguiling, newly discovered British cousins when they barely trust one another? Should they heed the warnings of their immortal grandmother, a Patoi-chatting goddess, who says she’s friendly with The Fates and can see inside a person’s very soul? In order to succeed in their quest, these goddess twins must work together, master their powers, and unveil a horrifying, century-old family mystery. Otherwise, they may not live to see eighteen?or their mother again.

A case of a book that was not fleshed out enough or edited hard enough & sent to publication too soon. It has a good premise & some good content for creating a solid magic system, but a lot of things fell short. Not enough nuance or subtlety to the writing & a lot of telling vs. showing. Characters were flat & pacing was inconsistent. There was too much convenience in the plot & I had a hard time caring about a story with no risk. Disappointing.

I've mentioned in another post, it's a tradition to get new books for my birthday (this Thursday). Since going to the bookstore wasn't an option, I ordered some, & still managed to get carried away (I ordered 2 more that haven't arrived yet lol). I'm excited to add these to my shelves. I'm Cuban and never read books by Cuban writers until now (2 of them are Cuban). The tagged book is also for #ReadYourSign I'm late, but getting started soon.
