Piñata by Leopoldo Gout
Did not finish book. Stopped at 44%.
DNF @ 46%
I was promised Aztec gods getting their bloody, gory revenge against colonizers. Instead I got poorly executed, on-the-nose social commentary (did you know that people hate women, and that's bad????), pages and pages and pages of stilted exposition that destroy any tension, a main character I hated, and mayyyybeeee a dozen pages of weird supernatural stuff.
Cool concept, but the cover is the best part of this book.
