Sun of Blood and Ruin

This book started as a slow-burn Spanish-Mexican political tale of colonialism sprinkled with Zorro vigilantism. The swash-buckling adventure is slowly interlaced with fanatsy and folklore towards the second half, although the Prince storyline left me a little cold. There were a lot of new elements in the second half that felt a distracting and little overwhelming, especially Amelia/Amalia's scene late in the book. This was a fun read that turned into a speeding, runaway train by the end.
