“a bit refreshing to read from a fantasy Latina author”
I have never read from Amparo Oritz before, so it was a bit refreshing to read from a fantasy Latina author. I always love reading from diverse authors because they bring so much more to fantasy books, such as their culture's mythology or folktales.
Last Sunrise in Eterna is a refreshing Latina YA fantasy story about Sevim and Aro. Sevim may not look like the typical teenager since she loves being dressed in all black and being cynical. But Sevim faces what all teenagers feel when they lose their parents: anger and grief. And her way of dealing with it may not be appropriate since she is capturing dead elf bodies. Unfortunately, not everyone agrees with her grieving process, especially Prince Aro.
Prince Arc may be addicted to his sugary donuts, but he is more devoted to finding out who is using his fellow dead elves. And so far, Sevim is the best guide to follow. Too bad that they are now both caught in a deadly game that they have no idea about. And it does not help that Arlo's older brother is no help either, since he is acting like a jerk to everyone.
The best they can do together is work together, no matter how much they become attracted to each other. But they can’t do anything about it. Good thing; the slow tension between them makes the read so much better. Expect a lot of slow tension between them and awkward moments as well.
As you read Last Sunrise in Eterna, expect surprises along the way as well as shocking secrets. And make sure you check out the content warning. Heavy topics are mentioned and discussed in this book.
