Full disclosure, I picked up this book because the cover is absolutely stunning. To top it off, finding out that it’s a fantasy novel based heavily on Bolivian mythos made me want to read it even more.
The story started out kind of slow for me, and it took me a little while to get into it. I wasn’t sure if I really cared about the characters as much as I should have. It didn’t take long though for this to change and for me to be fully invested in what was happening.
The mystery surrounding El Lobo’s identity was what really sealed the deal for me. I guessed right away who he was, but then Ibañez made me second guess myself, but then it turned out I was right all along!
On top of the gorgeous world-building and complex characters, and a compelling mystery, there’s also a completely swoon-worthy romance. I couldn’t make up my mind if I wanted to root for this couple, but toward the end I was 100% behind them.
