Another adventure for Águila and Jaguar

This is the sequel to Ciudad de las Bestias, and follows the main characters from that book on another adventure, this time in small country in the Himalayas.

It doesn’t quite capture the same magic as the first book, but the story is interesting enough and moves at a good pace.

Like the first book, it is a nice level of challenge that sits between a children’s book and an adult novel. Written well and a richness of language, lots of interesting words to discover here.

This book strays from magic realism into parts that are just magic and a bit silly at times. But the characters are very likeable, and overall an enjoyable read for me.
