A review by aibibyreads
The Tournament of Heirs by Amilea Perez

4.0

I enjoyed reading this book. It was very different. I do enjoy that it is not like any other book that I have read. I like that it represents Aztec mythology. This is new to me, and I enjoy that I learned something new along the way. This book is definitely one of those super slow burn books, but I enjoy tropes like those, so this wasn’t a dealbreaker for me. In fact, I felt that it made it more enjoyable to read. The book felt slow in the beginning, but it soon picked up. I enjoyed the amount of world building that Amiliea added to the story. I felt immersed enough in the storyline that I could picture what era she’s talking about. I do enjoy the energy and the relationship that the siblings have with each other. You have one sibling who is just much fiercer and feisty and willing to go that extra mile and step. One that’s there to protect her family, no matter the cost. There were times when I felt that some of the writing was a bit modernized, but I don’t think that was too much of a big deal. I do like that both characters also have romantic love interests. This definitely has Hunger Games written all over it, but it’s unique in its own way.

I received an advance review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily.
