I love that fantasy is starting to incorporate non western cultures and mythology, and this is what attracted me the most on Sun of Blood and Ruin

This book takes us to 16th century Mexico during the Spanish colonization, and tells us the story of Leonora, both vigilante and promised to the heir of the Spanish throne.

Though I loved the premise of the book and found the writing beautiful, I didn't connect to the story the way I was hoping and expecting. I found the pace inconsistent, the romance a bit bland and I felt the characters lacked depth.

Overall, it was an entertaining fantasy read, that got better towards the end.

I would like to thanks HarperCollins UK, HarperFiction, HarperVoyager and NetGalley for the opportunity to read this ARC in exchange for an honest review.
