Releases August 5th

Full review on goodreads and my blog.

5 stars: What a journey. Sad, tragic, heartbreaking... I couldn't stop reading it. A young sister has the power now, ten years after her sister's death, to revive her. She only needs one or two fingers and bones to defy Lord Death, and she travels with Lord Death's subject in an enemy-to-lovers (touch her, and I'll kill you) kind of couple. But I didn't expect the ending. Crying in the corner.

👉 Salvacion: Fantastic female (siblings) zorro retelling

5 stars:

5 plus. I was always in love with the Zorro movies, and having an inspired YA female Zorro kind of hero in a fantasy (kinda a daughter between magic realism and a fantasy novel) is awesome. Siblings Lola and Victor decide to create a secret hero who can fight for justice. But while they work together, it's Lola who becomes the angel, the face of the people. There is good magic and bad magic, like a balance in nature. One heals, the other consumes faster than fire. Respect for the people, against greed, against cruelty, respect for Indigenous People, fear for war, and love for family. The siblings' relationship is great, and Lola's interest in a new boy in town (but on the side of the enemy) grows into more.
