Falling into Rarohenga Kindle Edition

by Steph Matuku (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.1 4.1 out of 5 stars 6 ratings
See all formats and editions
It seems like an ordinary day when Tui and Kae, fourteen-year-old twins, get home from school – until they find their mother, Maia, has disappeared and a swirling vortex has opened up in her room. They are sucked into this portal and dragged down to Rarohenga, the Māori Underworld, a shadowy place of infinite dark levels, changing landscapes and untrustworthy characters. Maia has been kidnapped by their estranged father, Tema, enchanted to forget who she really is and hidden somewhere here. Tui and Kae have to find a way through this maze, outwit the shady characters they meet, break the spell on their mother, and escape to the World of Light before the Goddess of Shadows or Tema holds them in Rarohenga forever.

5.0 out of 5 stars I love it

I'm 23 and bought this for myself 😂 I was absolutely floored when I found out that rthis book existed. In my 23 years of life, the only PI fiction I've come across is the Telesa series and two or three other stories with afakasi women and romance (which is still super cool btw because I've never seen it before) but this book was so much fun to read and such an exciting and heartbreaking/heartwarming adventure.
There is so much familiarity in the sense of Pacific Islander community and mythology, but I loved learning a little bit more about that which is specific to the Maori culture. Its so nice to read fiction that incorporates PI culture and mythology in a heartwarming and crazy adventure such as this one.

So much Maori mythology and lore it was absolutely amazing to read! I loved the Underworld it was well described, hoping there is a film/tv adaptation soon! Love reading about sibling adventures too, took a while to get used to the quick bouncing POV changes between the twins but it worked!
