The Sun and the Void by Gabriela Romero Lacruz
3.0
3.5 stars
disclaimer : I received a copy free from the publishers via netgalley in exchange for an honest review
rep: venezuelan and columbian inspired setting & characters, sapphic characters, f/f romance
content warnings: violence, death, child death, abuse, emotional abuse, gore, racism and slavery, kidnapping
The Sun and the Void is a venezuelan and columbian inspired fantasy about two women fighting to find their place in the world. My favourite thing about this novel are the characters and the development that they went through throughout the novel, from niave girls to strong and powerful women in different ways either through magic or through fighting prowess. There were plenty of warrior women, but also plenty of soft women too. Plenty of sapphic characters & a central f/f romance. Plenty of mythology and folklore and magic to keep most fantasy readers interested. My only issue with this novel was the plot in places just felt lacklustre and struggled to hold my attention for most of the novel but truly ended on a really strong note hence the 3.5 rating.
