A review by coralinejones
Sun of Blood and Ruin by Mariely Lares
3.0
I wanted to like this more than I did. I wrote more previously but my computer froze and I lost what I had written. I'll list some bullet points that express my distaste for this novel.
— Not a YA novel, from my understanding, but still very adolescent in nature. A coming-of-age story for sure.
— The writing isn’t very good. Quite basic and all over the place.
— The book starts with lots of action and atmospheric scenery. Then this changes into a historical romance drama? Then it’s something of a mystery? I couldn’t keep up.
— Many characters are introduced but never utilized, ultimately being pointless in the long run.
— Unlike many others, I actually preferred the first half of the novel than the second, however, there is a lot more action in the second half of you’re into that.
