Ooh cover! <3

The Short Version: A modern day Argentinian folktale that doubles as a discourse on immigration and otherness inside and outside our own communities that just failed to grab me and keep me captivated The Long Version: I got to listen to the audiobook ARC of this title thanks to NetGalley and Macmillan Audio This is a Fantasy title I hadn’t seen anywhere as a much anticipated title so I was surprised a story with such an intriguing description in the Sci-Fi/Fantasy realm had slipped past my notic...

3.5 stars. I didn't love this book as much as the first one, but still overall enjoyed the read. This rating could potentially go up with a book 3. I had thought this was a planned duology and while yes there is an ending of sorts, there are some doors left open for more.No plot summaries so as to not spoil the first book. Basically, this book picks up right where the first book left off, and most of it takes place in Lunaris.The themes in this book of identity, memory, history vs. present, trad...

This was super creative and I can't wait for book three. Although, I will admit, I was hoping for just a duology for this one. I received an ecopy of this book through Netgalley; however, my opinions are my own.

Ugh my heart 😩💔

Thank you NetGalley and the publishers for this advanced copy in exchange for my honest review. Cazadora starts off not long after Lobizona ends, which I liked. I prefer books that start right after the events of previous books. I don’t like when books jump a bunch of time and things supposedly happen in that time that the reader is just told about. I also really liked how the author refreshed the readers memory about events from the previous book. I was going to try to read Lobizona again, but

Cazadora picks up right where we left off in Lobizona. In this second book we completely leave the human world behind to explore all the wonders of the Septimus' world. Manu and her friends are on the run from the Cazadores that seek to lock her up and punish her for the crime of existing as a hybrid. Manu, Tiago, Cata, & Saysa must convince their people that Manu is nothing like the myth of la ladrona, the evil half human folktale that has scared the Suptimus for centuries. Romina Garber has cr...

Blending Argentine mythology with searing commentary on sexism, homophobia, colorism, and anti-immigrant sentiment, this fantasy series is definitely one worth reading. I've had a string of disappointments for second books in YA series recently, so I'm very pleased to say that Cazadora was just as good as I hoped it would be. I loved being back in this lush, imaginative world with great characters. I find this series to be so immersive, weaving a backdrop that feels almost real and makes me wish...

3.5 starsI went into this book thinking that this series is a duology, and it is not. This may not seem like a big deal, but when you're expecting resolution and don't get it, it is a bit frustrating. As far as the plot goes, I was interested in learning more about the Cazadores since they were a bit of a blur in book one. This story centers around Manu and her friends being on the run from the Cazadores and the sacrifices that they must make in order to stay hidden. That being said, I felt that...

I have received a copy of this book through a giveaway hosted by the publisher. This has not affected my rating or review in any way.

(Disclaimer: I received this book from the publisher. This has not impacted my review which is unbiased and honest.) TW: panic attack, self-harmCazadora is an action packed sequel to Lobizona. It develops everything I love about the first - the breaking down of rigid gender norms and illegal existence - in an emotional sequel. Can Manu find a place where she fits in? Finally a place where she doesn't have to hide who she is? Cazadora is a fierce story about rebellion, friendship, and sacrifice.

**3.5-stars rounded up**Cazadora is the highly-anticipated sequel to Romina Garber's 2020-YA Fantasy release, Lobizona; both part of the Wolves of No World series.I say series, when in reality, I have no idea how many books are set to be released in this world. I'll tell you one thing though, after the stunning conclusion to this book, I know there's a heck of a lot more story to tell!Manuela Azul, Manu to her family and friends, knows what it is like to be different and to be judged for her dif...

Originally published on The Nerd Daily | Review by Kibby RobinsonIn the stunning sequel to Lobizona, Romina Garber continues Manu’s journey to break the archaic notion that one has to prove they have a right to exist. With brutal explorations on what it means to be “illegal” and coming of age in a world where you feel you don’t belong, Cazadora is a shining example of how important diverse stories are in the YA world.Read the FULL REVIEW on The Nerd Daily

Did I think this was a duology? Yes. Am I disappointed? A bit. Because even though my feelings about this instalment were kind of lukewarm, the ending hooked me. I kind of expect to be in the same spot again with book three, where I end this review thinking the next book might inspire some love and probably being a little let down again.. but oh well, we're going to do it anyway.Bruja. Lobizón. There's no accompanying symbol, but there's no need. The gendered language makes it clear which one is...

i realize that book 1 still isn't out yet but i'm gonna need a full cover and synopsis of this yesterday.

I have received this ARC from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.Okay, I'm so freaking excited that I got Cazadora. I'm also really happy that it picks up right where the previous book ended. Plus, we are leaving the human world to explore a new one. If you think things are going to be easier for our friends.. well, you'd think wrong. Manu is on the run from the Cazadores. Mostly because they want to capture her and lock her up. So, yeah, I feel her pain and not wanting to do that. While...

I didn’t think this sequel could be better, but Jesus Christ this book was perfect. My heart. Romina writes so beautifully and makes you feel. Manu, brave, brave Manu. Her spirit and strength are captured so beautifully I was moved to tears. Cazadora starts right back up from where Lobizona left off without missing a beat. We are introduced to new characters that remind us that we cannot be caged by the identities, classifications, and/or societal expectations placed on us. The way Romina weaves...

Really enjoyed the broadening of this world! The conversations that are included are so necessary, especially in light of recent legislation. “I don’t know that there’s any plan for our lives… I think we just get confronted with choices, and the more honest we are when making them, the more our life begins to reflect us.” Love the strong women representation! “All I know is they’ve been making up stories about independent girls in every tradition since forever,… And I think it’s time we take bac...

Not quite the follow-up that I feel Lobizona deserved.Rather than being the concluding installment in a duology, as previously advertised, Cazadora is merely the second book in a series of ???. Which isn't a negative thing, exactly. But when you start reading a book with the expectation that the story will be completely wrapped up by the time you hit the epilogue, concluding things at a point where there's a bunch of loose threads is jarring (at the very least).But in general, what didn't work f...

“We are the narratives we tell ourselves. But do we shape language, or does language shape us? Do we define words, or do words define us? If everyone keeps insisting I’m this monster, how soon before I become her?” (381)In this sequel to Lobizona, everything reaches a fever pitch of intense proportions!Manu and get friends are on the run, fleeing across the magical realms of Kerana, trying to escape from not just the law but from the excruciating reach of tradition. Werewolves are men and witche...
