The short version:Kate Daniels fans need to give this one a try.The long version:Interesting world-building, taking off on the Native American idea of subsequent 'worlds' that happen with each upheaval (this concept is explained more later in the story). The integration with various Native mythologies--I think primarily Diné, although the world idea might be more universal--is very interesting and one of the aspects that will make this stand out for urban fantasy and supernatural fans. Setting i...
Instagram || Twitter || Facebook || Amazon || PinterestThis was a buddy-read with my friend, Deidra @ ShadeTreeReads, so make sure you check out her review, too!I've been anticipating this one for a while because I heard it was good for people who like the Kate Daniels series and it is a post-apocalyptic urban fantasy that puts emphasis on Navajo/Dine culture.The good:The writing is very clean. The world-building, once I figured it out, is unique among its peers (although that isn't really a
You can find this review and more at Novel Notions. Actual rating: 3.5 starsRepresentation is so important in fiction.. It’s much easier to sink into a character’s story when they resemble you in some way. For centuries there was very little healthy representation of anyone outside of heterosexual white males of European descent. Characters who fell outside of these restrictions tended to be only secondary characters, and were often portrayed as two-dimensional caricatures of the race or sex or
2.5 starsI was sold this book as a recommendation for all Kate Daniels fans. I love Kate. She’s my favorite heroine ever. So to compare a book to her is not something I take lightly.Therefore, before I delve into the book review, I’ll tackle this point. Would I recommend it to KD fans? It depends on why they read KD.— is it because of the world-building and magic system? A futuristic post-apocalyptic world where the old myths are alive? Sure, then. You’ll enjoy this book.— is it because of the b...
I have been excited for this book ever since I found about it – and it did not disappoint me at all. Rebecca Roanhorse has created a seriously cool, very much needed different Urban Fantasy here that makes me very excited for what is to come.Living in a post-apocalyptic Dinétah (formerly the Navajo Reservation) where gods and demons walk the world, Maggie is a grim, lonely, super strong woman. She is a monster hunter with not much to live for, she is snarky and broken, and while I found her fair...
This Review ✍️ Blog 📖 Twitter 🐦 Instagram 📷This was Kaleena's choice for my 10 bloggers, 10 recommendations challenge so let's see what it is about!I should mention that my friend Rachel also recommended it! “Everything you’ve done, your past, it’s all just a story you tell yourself. Some of it is true, but some of it is lies.” 🌟 I do not read much urban fantasy as I prefer high fantasy. I was recommended this by a friend and then Kaleena picked it for my 10 readers, 10 recommendations challe...
What an astonishing tour de force with thrilling action, fascinating characters and a near future vision of America that I've never seen before. Urban fantasy just got a whole new lease on life. The character of Maggie Hoskie grabbed me from the very first page, and her unfinished business with her former mentor, an immortal badass, is super compelling. This book surprised me over and over. While I was reading it, I kept saying it reminded me of the work of Ayize Jama-Everett, which is the highe...
I think this novel has been a LONG time coming and I'm glad it's here. Now. My only concern is that this UF series came out so late in the whole UF cycle thing. I needed this a decade ago. I needed a full American Indian mythological romp with Coyote and so many fantastic supernatural additions to my reading schedule! Not just fae and vamps and druids and wizards... I needed THIS!That being said, I really liked it. :) Flooding took out most of the world and it was like coming back home to New Me...
I had an incredibly hard time sorting out my feelings on this book and I don’t know if I can say that I succeeded. There are many aspects of it that I absolutely loved, but also ones that I really disliked. And the two overlap one another, leaving me conflicted and with a frown line that’s about to become permanent.Let’s just begin with all the things that I loved. A Trail of Lighting is a post-apocalyptic fantasy that revolves around Native American culture and history, written by a Native Amer...
Wow, this is tremendously exciting and action packed urban fantasy. The Sixth World is awesome. I loved it and can't wait for the next one!
Buddy read 15April2019 at 3.75 "sometimes the ones we call our heroes are the greatest monsters of all" starsThis book actually surprised me. I’m kinda over most dystopian type books and YA and I don’t really have a huge interest in books with Indian culture elements in them so I wasn’t expecting a lot from Trail of Lightning with all of these, but I ended up really enjoying the story Rebecca Roanhorse told.Maggie is a monster hunter, yes there are monsters of a sort in this new world after
"an indigenous Mad Max: Fury Road" whom else is crying
Trail of Lightning (The Sixth World #1) by Rebecca Roanhorse is an amazing book! Set in the future after multiple Earth changing disasters and population decimating events, this has terrific world building! It's a fantasy with monsters, and people with "clan" given gifts born into them. Our main Gal of the story is good at monster killing. The native Indian lore of the Coyote is in here as a character, the trickster. This book has a lot of Indian legend and lore to it. Fascinating and exciting,
