Children of Maya

Review\n"This is a page-turning novel with a lot of action, a variety of characters that have depth, and a twisting plotline with multiple facets. The pacing of the story is fast, keeping readers engaged throughout the story... Children of Maya puts together a fantastic fantasy story with characters that readers will connect with and cheer for. It is a story of friendships and allies, self-discovery, and the battle for freedom." - Literary Titan\n"At first glance the world may seem like a million other urban-fantasy worlds that have been created, but I'm incredibly impressed with the world that Christopher Vastag has created. It attempts to integrate the changeling creatures and powers of urban fantasy into a more mundane world. The politics in, and between, these creatures makes for some awesome stories. The author does an outstanding job introducing all the characters and building the world. We are kept on our toes trying to find all the players and figure out what's going on while hopping everyone is safe.\nThe writing is luring, engaging, and well-crafted enough to keep me interested from cover to cover and beyond. The plot is astonishing with twists and turns weaved into a well thought and planned story. There's no pretense and romance was well balanced and done entirely correctly with properly distributed amounts of hints, behaviors and incredible, undeniable chemistry. Children of Maya is an interesting and believable story with characters that are appealing and sympathetic and relatable. What a great addition to the urban fantasy genre." - Bookish Elf\n"Children Of Maya by Christopher Vastag is a very engaging adventure new-adult fantasy novel that will take you on an adventurous rebellious trip.
This book was very easy to read as the writing was good had a really good flow which made the book a very quick read. I enjoyed reading this book as it had really good action and was full of twists and turns. The characterisation was good and so was the pacing and tension. The ending was good too and hopefully, there'll be more books in this series.
I would recommend this book to all the readers of the new-adult fantasy genre and to those readers who enjoy reading magical adventurous books." - Reading Bud Review\n"Surprisingly easy to read, author Christopher Vastag incorporates the Hybrid AU trope from the fanfiction world into Children of Maya with exciting results. I think what makes the story so entertaining is the narrative style, which is conversational without being pretentious. It is quick to read without being hard to keep up. The author refrains from painting any breed (or class of people) to be wholly good or bad. Instead, he shows the good and the bad from both classes and allows the reader to make their own decisions. The use of Latin names made the story feel more authentic whereas the dialogues brought the characters to life. Maria and Reginald are very different from each other, yet they have many similarities. They both have a different version of an ideal Kaskilia and because of that, they butt heads a lot. Their banter made me laugh and enjoy the story even more. Children of Maya is fantastic in my opinion" - Reader's Favorite\nIn the land of Kaskilia, a rabbit changeling slave named Maria sows plans for rebellion.
