Trail of Lightning by Rebecca Roanhorse
My eighteenth book for
ljbookbingo is Trail of Lightning by Rebecca Roanhorse for the diverse reads square found here.
While most of the world has drowned beneath the sudden rising waters of a climate apocalypse, Dinétah (formerly the Navajo reservation) has been reborn. The gods and heroes of legend walk the land, but so do monsters.
Maggie Hoskie is a Dinétah monster hunter, a supernaturally gifted killer. When a small town needs help finding a missing girl, Maggie is their last best hope. But what Maggie uncovers about the monster is much more terrifying than anything she could imagine. Maggie reluctantly enlists the aid of Kai Arviso, an unconventional medicine man, and together they travel the rez, unraveling clues from ancient legends, trading favors with tricksters, and battling dark witchcraft in a patchwork world of deteriorating technology. As Maggie discovers the truth behind the killings, she will have to confront her past if she wants to survive.
Welcome to the Sixth World. ~Amazon book description
I absolutely loved this book! I so fell in love with Maggie and the world she inhabits. She’s prickly and bad tempered and filled with pain and anger, and I love her all the more for it. The world Rebecca Roanhorse created in this book is so layered and intriguing. The people that live in that world are even more so. In fact Maggie is one of the best protagonists I have read in recent memory and I long for the next book in the series.
