Fast-moving, moving from a straight-forward confrontation to a search and rescue. There are a lot of similarities with the Kate Daniels series: a heroine with a predilection for violence over other kinds of problem-solving, a young woman with a case of heroine-worship, said heroine with an absence of family connections, a post-apocalyptic world that lacks centralized authority, a world where inhuman and godly walk among the humans.Setting again plays an important role, beginning in the mountains...

Not quite as good as the first book, but still a quick read. The usual urban fantasy trigger warnings of threat of rape, torture, and violence. This also has some bug stuff so if you are scared of locusts, this isn’t for you.

4.5 of 5 stars at The BiblioSanctum https://bibliosanctum.com/2019/04/22/...I’ve been running around for the whole of last year telling anyone who would listen that Trail of Lightning by Rebecca Roanhorse is bar one the best thing to happen to urban fantasy in years. To say I was excited to read the sequel is an understatement. And now that I’ve read it, I am pleased to report that the highly-anticipated Storm of Locusts, like its predecessor, was just as fun and action-packed, while still manag...

Roanhorse doesn't fail to entertain... again. :)This Urban Fantasy has quickly become one of my go-to sources for popcorn fiction. It has everything I really love. A much more unique setting than I usually get, reminding me of all my old stomping grounds where I used to grow up. Well, before the coastlines altered and the earthquakes took down the cities and the plagues wiped out everyone else, anyway... :)This is exciting, entertaining, full of gods of native persuasion, and some really funky c...

Damn.Rebecca Roanhorse does not pull any punches. From the very first page I was hooked again and her story keeps its relentless pace until the very end while still spending enough time with the characters for them to develop and for the scenes to hit the emotional notes they are supposed to hit. This was, quite simply, incredible. Now, I know I am far from an impartial judge, given that the first book in the series reignited my love for Urban Fantasy, but believe me when I tell you, that this s...

| | blog | tumblr | ko-fi | |4 ¼ stars Usually, I don't go back on DNFs (there's plenty more books in the sea and all that) but I also get that sometimes my enjoyment of a book depends on me getting to read it at the 'right time'. The reason why I'd DNFed Storm of Locusts after reading just a chapter or so was that I found a certain scene to be way predictable. And that's it. I was annoyed so I moved on to other books. Nearly two years later, I decided to give it another try, and I'm glad I di...

Omg! The next book is going to be fire 🔥🔥 I can't wait!

My goodness, this series is easy and fun to consume.Please Hollywood, please put Roanhorse on speed dial.

Second instalment in this Native American inspired post apocalyptic fantasy series. I didn't find this own quite as effective as the first, in part because the first was really driven by a lot of chewy interpersonal relationships whereas this was more of a quest story (zooming from place to place), plus Maggie feels a lot more powerful, with her new lightning sword, and very few bad effects from using her clan powers, and her new relationships with friends are all positive. The stakes weren't as...

4.5 stars, rounded up, because I truly loved this book!The first book in the Sixth World series, Trail of Lightning, really surprised me last year, and I was really excited for the sequel. I wasn't disappointed.Storm of Locusts again is a very fast paced book and a quick read. I can even see some people reading it in one day. It starts extremely action packed, slows down a little in the second half and picks up in pace again towards the end. Especially during the first half of the book there's o...

4.5 starsStorm of Locusts is an amazing addition to The Sixth World series. I loved everything about this book. I enjoyed the first book and being introduced to all the characters, but you really see them grow in this one. Maggie is loyal, protective and good, even if she doesn't feel that way. Especially in the previous book she was dealing with a lot of darkness inside of her. But this time around she is feeling guilt about the things she had to do in the first book. I loved seeing her letting...

Check out more reviews @ Perspective of a Writer...The BuzzHave you not heard of The Sixth World series by Rebecca Roanhouse? The first book is called Trail of Lightning and it developed a world with some amazing monster hunting action!! Maggie is a serious killer but she wants to change after meeting Kai...The PremiseStorm of Locusts is exactly as advertised in the premise. Actually its amazingly accurate. TBH I missed Kai in this book. He was a welcome bit of softness in the hardness that was

I loved Trail of Lightning, the first book in Rebecca Roanhorse's The Sixth World series, and Storm of Locusts is an amazing follow-up! Picking up right from where book #1 left off, the story rejoins Maggie after the big fight at Black Mesa, where she battled a Navajo god and seemingly lost her only friend. Now, mere weeks later, she's healing emotionally and physically, when she's called on by a sometimes-ally to help with a bounty hunt that goes badly wrong. After the bloody incident, Maggie h...

"As he stands there, he begins to vibrate. His wings open wider. The lace-like lattice ripples, begins to shimmer and flow, and a thousand locusts drop free, plopping thickly to the floor. They mill over one another before lifting into the air. He opens his mouth, and more pour out from his throat, crawling over his cheeks, his eyes. He raises his arms, and they rise from his hands. Locust song fills the room. Thick and warm and bilious, a physical thing. Like drowning in a vat of molasses."Godd...

Y'all need to read this series. Like yesterday. Just do it.

This review was originally posted on Books of My Heart “Your fame, Godslayer, precedes you.”That name again. “Where did you hear that name?” I ask. “On the tongue of a dying angel, from the mouth of a storm king. It is known.” Storm of Locusts is the second book of the Sixth World series, following and starts about a month after Trail of Lightning ends. Maggie has been trying to keep busy working with the Thirsty Boys and hanging out with Tah, waiting for Kia. She hasn’t seen him, has...
