Mistress of Bones by Maria Z. MedinaMy rating: 3 of 5 stars
I was provided an ALC and an ARC of this book via Netgalley, all opinions are my own.
This had a really interesting premise, but I found it hard to follow. There are alot of characters with very similar names and I struggled to keep them all straight. The timeline also jumps around alot from chapter to chapter which also makes the storyline hard to follow because you aren't really sure what part of the story you are in because it isn't consistent from chapter to chapter "when" you are. There is some romance, however it is a secondary plotline and not the main focus. It is more of a promise for more to come. The magic system is interesting and Azul's dedication and love for her sister is compelling.
I would have liked more background info on the gods and how the magic is tied to them. I love mythology and lore, but I like a bit of an explanation on how that all works together. Hopefully there is more to come in book 2. The pacing is a bit on the slower side for my preferences when it comes to fantasy, but the ending was interesting enough for me to want to pick up the next book and see where things go.
The audio narration was excellent. Ana Osoria does a wonderful job
