À propos de cet audio
Nothing says Happy Birthday like summoning the spirits of your dead relatives. Alex is a bruja, the most powerful witch in a generation and she hates magic. At her Deathday celebration, Alex performs a spell to rid herself of her power. But it backfires. Her whole family vanishes into thin air, leaving her alone with Nova, a brujo boy she can't trust. A boy whose intentions are as dark as the strange marks on his skin. The only way to get her family back is to travel with Nova to Los Lagos, a land in-between, as dark as Limbo and as strange as Wonderland.

Fun Urban Fantasy
Labyrinth Lost follows Alex, a Bruja who's afraid of her own power and decides to cast a spell on her Death Day to rid herself of it for good. What she didnt realize was that with her magic being tied to her blood getting rid of it means getting rid of her entire family, ancestors and all. Now to save her family and the souls of her ancestors she must travel to the underworld and find the Tree of Souls before the Devourer whos made her home there consumes them all. After having avoided magic her whole life Alex will need to recruit the help of a mysterious Brujo named Nova if she's to navigate Los Lagos in time to save her family.
I found Alex a bit childish at times, but she does grow a lot throughout the novel. I really appreciated how she held herself accountable and tried to right her mistakes, but I didnt connect with her as much as I wanted to. Even though I understand why she doesnt want magic I cant relate to it. I did relate to doing everything in ones power to help their family though. The family dynamics felt realistic and I loved how we got to see a long line of strong female family members. I liked Alex little sister, who often acted more mature than Alex herself, but thats probably due to her power. With their mother trying to raise them by herself the older sister came off as a second parental figure nagging out of love.
I really loved her best friend Rishi. Shes such an interesting character and an amazing friend. She's probably my favorite character in the book. Nova on the other hand was the typical bad boy, but still managed to surprise me in the end. I also really loved the romance and how it didnt overpower the story or change the character. It definitely bumped up my overall rating. Im not one to remember book kisses, but this book had a memorable one. I thought the bi rep was very well done. Not every author seems to understand that once we commit to a partner we dont always cheat/have feelings for someone else. Dont get me wrong it happens like every other type of relationship, but its definitely not the norm.
I really enjoyed the world with its rich Latin American culture. Los Lagos was a fascinating place, especially with all the different creatures. I honestly wish we got more info and page time with them. I also thought the magic backlash added a nice layer of believability. The plot wasnt anything super original with the whole chosen one trope with the usual power hungry villain, but the diverse world really set it a part. We did get some information about the villain, but not nearly enough. I thought the pace was fantastic. Never a dull moment. Its harder to judge the writing while listening to an audiobook at 2x the speed, but I found it flowed well. I had to backtrack a couple times, but for the most part I found it clear and engaging.
When I first heard of this book I had no intentions of ever reading it. Urban fantasy just doesnt appeal to me anymore. What ended up selling me on this was the diveristy. I knew I probably wouldnt get around to it on my own so I requested review copy of the sequel and asked a friend on Goodreads to buddy read it with me that way Id have to pick it up. The ending was satisfying while still having a bit of a cliff hanger at the end that has me intrigued enough to want to pick up the sequel. It doesnt follow the same character, but we do stay in the same family following Alexs older sister so hopefully I get to see more of their little sister and the wonderful Rishi.

Couldn't stop reading it!
This book was so much fun that I binge read it. Normally an audiobook takes me a few weeks to get through but this one I couldn't stop listening to! The only reason I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 was because of the part where they sacrifice a parakeet. I almost stopped listening, as it seemed unnecessary animal cruelty, but decided to keep reading because the book was otherwise great. I'm glad I continued.

Had so much potential
This could have been a great story, but it fizzled out near the middle. I just found myself zoning out and looking for a bit more with the book. Some world-building would have also been nice.

Magical world inspired in rich Hispanic culture
When I read the description of the novel I was very interested to see how the Hispanic traditions and belief system would take shape in a fantasy novel that wants to stand beside the likes of H.P. I think this series can hold its own and it can appeal to both, Hispanics and non-Hispanics alike. However, as a bilingual speaker of both Spanish and English, I was annoyed at the narrator and the way she decided to read some words such as "Dios" "enchantress" "mamá" "papá". Since I don't have the ebook of the novel, I can't tell if this is a problem of the original spelling in the novel or it's a problem with the way the narrator mispronounces some crucial words in the story. This aspect of the narration rubbed me the wrong way because the Hispanic accent the narrator was trying to use sounded very artificial when mispronouncing these common words and did not flow with the story.

Pretty good universe for the story line.
Nothing extraordinary just pretty good.
Note: lots of Hispanic words... would have been a good idea to use a Hispanic reader.
