First of all, thanks to the author for a copy of the book as part of the tour hosted by Hear our Voices!
The Tournament of Heirs is inspired by Mesoamerican mythology and features Metztli and her brother Acalan, heirs of the House of Life and champions who will fight to the death in a tournament that will decide who continues to lead the empire and grant a wish to the winner from the gods themselves.
This is a slow burn story with complex politics between the houses and secrets that are trying to come to light. For those who are fans of prophecies, love at first sight, and the enemies to lovers trope, you'll find them all within these pages.
If anything I wanted things to go faster so that we could see how the tournament would unfold. I adored Xuki, a dog who ends up in the mix of the tournament, and the way he became a key player for the siblings.
All in all, I do want to keep reading this series to see how it all unfolds after that massive cliff-hanger at the end of book one. And don't worry, things wrap up nicely, but it'll leave you wanting more!
