The Lords of Night by J.C. Cervantes
I had originally planned on giving this 2*, but then I discovered that it is the first book in a spin off series and had to reevaluate my assessment of this book. I was reading this and I knew that it was labeled as book 1, but there were a lot of references to things that had happened previously and I had no knowledge of and it was super frustrating because here I was thinking that this was the very first book period and the story was moving like they were already established characters, but (to me) they weren't. Turns out, they were and I missed the memo. I would have liked this much more if I had read the previous series and knew the back story. That being said, Renata is goodhearted and wants to be a good leader and take care of her friends. Edison was fun and I liked his fact dumping. Monty was so excitable, but in a good way. The quest was high stakes enough to keep you invested without making you worried. I wish I had read the previous series so I had more information on the Maya gods; that was interesting and I did not know enough to understand. I do think I will read the initial series then go back and reread this book so I can fully understand the characters and the world that has already been built.
