3.5 ⭐️
I was extremely excited for Salvación as someone that grew up watching Zorro (played by Guy Williams and later Antonio Banderas) with my dad. As someone that loves female empowering stories, I was intrigued for this gender swapped version and had extremely high hopes.
However, there were parts of this story that felt brushed over first off about the journey to Coloma and why Lola's mama felt drawn to go there. I would love to possibly have a prequel to the story that could cover this journey and a lot of the trials her family faced leading up to picking up the part of becoming El Zorro.
I also didn't realize until reading other reviews that there was another detail that had bothered me. Aside from not having the fun sword fighting scenes (that were some of my favorite in the TV show and movie), there was the fact that only 3 women lived in this town but NO ONE not even the love interest had any idea it was Lola.
The story was very promising and I appreciated the slight nods to the original Zorro, but I wish that some details would have been a bit more thought out and better explained.
Thank you Netgalley for letting me read the e-ARC for this book.
