Exciting page-turner about slaying monsters. It blends myth with post-apocalyptic danger. I love the protagonist.
It has interesting themes about love, grief, and self-discovery.

Rebecca Roanhorse is a local New Mexican author, and I was excited to pick up her book.
Maggie, a Diné monsterslayer, was a ton of fun to hang out with, and the book inverted all the tropes in a way that I found fun, delightful...I don't know how else to say it. The tenderhearted, pretty-faced healer sidekick. Maggie's gruff, murder-first-questions-later attitude. And yet, it wasn't just flipped--Maggie's relationship with her (a-hole) mentor was complex and heartbreaking.
If you combined Mad Max: Fury Road and American Gods, you'd be headed the right direction.

Roanhorse does it again! ALL the stars!
So grateful that I have the sequel on my shelf ready to go or I’d be howling.

Trail of Lightning is really interesting and fairly unique book..I would argue as an urban fantasy hater, this is the peak of the genre. Urban fantasy done right.
