Shadowshaper

Shadowshaper by Daniel José Older
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

This is a solid YA book with a refreshing point of view from a Puerto Rican girl who learns that a secret family legacy has made her a shadowshaper, an artist that can tunnel spirits onto her art and animate it. The only problem is that someone is killing off the shadowshapers to try to harness their power. The plot is a little clunky at times, and some of her choices seem unbelievable even for a book of fantasy but the premise is wonderfully original, and the voice unique.
