Really interesting book with extensive cool world building and concepts. It is a post apocalyptic book by a Native American author, where most survivors are  Native peoples. The writing was a little simplistic/YA but the concepts and ideas were really cool. Overall a really fun, quick read.

 I was looking for a book to replicate the vibe of "The Last of Us" and boy, did this book deliver. Creepy, otherworldly, plus a badass monsterslayer who is a woman for once? So good. Maggie is living in the (dystopian) Sixth World, with only the Navajo Nation left above water, and legends and monsters walking amongst the humans. Maggie was raised by an immortal and then abandoned; now she fights monsters for bounty and basically pisses off everyone around her. The only person she likes asks her to take on his grandson as her partner (and guess what? He's cute!) and they go on adventures trying to find out who is creating the zombies walking around. It wasn't a perfect book but I am so excited to see where this series goes.
