A review by sissi
Sun of Blood and Ruin by Mariely Lares

1.0

Full disclosure, I did power through the second half of the book. I wasn't enjoying it at all but wanted to see it through. The writing wasn't great - quite flat characters doing a lot of tell, not show, which made for an uninteresting read. This coupled with poor pacing made me lose interest. The book dips its toes into a lot of different genres but didn't really interest me as any of them. I don't think it made good use of mesoamerican cultures either, it almost felt like watching an MCU movie by the end (derogatory)
