Repost from @bnplit @TopRankRepost #TopRankRepost I read that the elevator pitch for this book was “Indigenous Mad Max: Fury Road.” Color me interested. It dawned on me that I wanted to read about indigenous folks in the fantasy (and sci-fi) genre but by someone who was a POC, preferably someone with an Indigenous background so we didn’t fall into that J.K-Rowling-I’ll-rewrite-Native-American-Skinwalkers-To-Fit-The-Harry-Potter-History-Backdrop. • • • The protagonist of this book is Maggie Hoskie is a Dinétah monster hunter. This book looks to have a mostly Native American cast exploring the origins of North American Indigenous Gods and legends. I think that just hooked me. • • • I love supernatural twists wrapped up in a post-apocalyptic world. I love fantastic cover art —Trail of Lightning is the debut book of a new author who heeded the advice of Toni Morrison: She wrote the book she’s been looking for. This will be the first book in a new, developing series. Count me in. #bnplit #trailoflightning #rebeccaroanhorse #dinétah

We looooove #bookmark posts!!! You can purchase Trail of Lightning from our @instagram, @facebook, @shopify, @tiktok, @librofm (audiobook) or @pinterest stores. Link in bio: @sistahscifi. Better yet, check it out from your local #library!!! Reposted from @caits.little.grey.cells ⚡️Trail of Lightning ⚡️ By Rebecca Roanhorse @rebeccaroanhorse ⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️/5 “Welcome to the Sixth World. While most of the world has drowned beneath ‘Big Water’, the sudden rising of waters as a result of climate apocalypse, the Dinetah (Formerly the Navajo Reservation) has been reborn…” I loved this book!!!! So much, I ordered the second installment halfway through reading this one. Roanhorse captures you from page 1. Maggie, our badass Monsterslayer, is complex, a little broken, but full of strength, resilience and fierceness. Navigating apocalyptic life with her clan powers and the abandonment of her mentor, Maggie is pulled into the fray when new cannibal monsters appear. Maggie is joined by Medicine Man Kai to solve the mystery. Their journey had me flying through the pages unable to put this one down. Roanhorse is an auto-buy for me. I am kicking myself for not picking this one up sooner! “ “Greed is Universal…Seems anywhere there’s a natural resource, there’s someone willing to hoard it for themselves to make more money than they can spend.”... I think of the Protectors, the people who fought the multinationals in the Energy Wars and lost. Until Earth herself stepped in and drowned them all regardless of personal politics…”Water is Life,” I say” Great if you love: Speculative fiction, Indigenous futurism, Buffy, Mercy Thomspon, and/or Charlaine Harris. #trailoflightning #thesixthworld #specscifi #scifi #sistahscifi #rebeccaroanhorse #indigenousfuturism #roanhorse #dinétah I purchased both from @sistahscifi // @sagasff @simonbooks @simonandschuster https://www.instagram.com/p/CfAk7xIrmu-/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

This weekend was wonderful, spent Saturday at a local distillery, making Gin with @jacko_putsfilters and some friends for our belated anniversary. Spent this morning at the @lifelinesouthcoast book fair. And spent this afternoon getting ready for the work week. Now I get to sit with a hot tea, watch the rain and finish this book 🥰 What are you currently reading? #trailoflightning #rebeccaroanhorse #currentlyreading #tbr #2021tbr #supernaturalbooks #thesixthworld #theunemployedphilosophersguild #mugsofinstagram #booksofinstagram #ausbookstagram #ausbookishfeatures #aussiekiwibooksta https://www.instagram.com/p/CMq-APiLNL6/?igshid=1skofaxnvvg50

April 13th, 2020 || 📚mini book reviews📚 . ⚡️Trail of Lightning by Rebecca Roanhorse. set in a post-apocalyptic world and based on Native American folklore and myths. i really enjoyed it; it was incredibly fast-paced and i loved the world building. will say though that i wished the romance hadn’t been that important towards the end. cannot wait to read the sequel (7.5/10). . 🌿The Unspoken Name by A.K. Larkwood. Ah, the disappointment this was. I liked and enjoyed the writing style and although the world building was sometimes vague (esp. when it came to describe different races), it also had some richness. so, what went wrong? one, the narrative structure. it felt jumpy and lacked fluidity especially during the first half of the novel (the second half gets much better which improved my drive to read); two, the characters. i couldn’t connect with them. whether i like a character, or agree with their actions, there has to be something to pull me in and i didn’t find it here completely. not even the villains were complex enough for me to hate them; and three, the story had no subtlety in my opinion… i could tell, for the majority of the time, where the author was going and how certain things were going to play out. this book might work for some readers, but it didn’t for me despite some positives (5.5/10). . what have you been reading lately? • • • • #adayinbooklandreviews #trailoflightning #theunspokenname #fantasybook #urbanfantasybooks #bookaesthetics #unitedbookstagram #bookreviews #aprilreads #ilovereadingbooks #readmorebooks #readeveryday #bookloversofinstagram #bookloversunite #bookloversday https://www.instagram.com/p/B-7U2ubKA49/?igshid=152eokyds325z
