A review by 2sweet2kahill
Sun of Blood and Ruin by Mariely Lares
4.0
This book promised me a gender bent Zorro but make it indigenous representation and it gave me that.
Witty, uplifting and incredibly well written; Sun of Blood and Ruin takes the reader on a journey that while quick paced and generally light hearted remains largely powerful.
Historical Mexican back drop (think 1550's), tyranny and shape shifting surprisingly come together on page to form a lush poetic novel full to the absolute brim with gorgeous scenes, indigenous iconography, and feminist flare.
