The Storm Runner by J.C. Cervantes

3.0

3.5
I enjoyed this. I liked Zane, he as funny, and brave. I liked that he really grew to love himself through the course of the story

Spoiler

and despite giving him magic powers the author didn't take away his disability or have the magic "heal" him. Also props to the author for turning the god's 'serpent leg' into a realistic physical attribute

. I loved his relationship with his family but I do wish I could learn more about his mom

Spoiler

I mean she met, fell in love and had a kid with a god that wasn't supposed to have kids I need to know how they met

I really like the Mayan myth and cultures, though Ah-Puch and Xibalba were gross. With Ah-Puch smelling like rotting fish and vomit and Xibalba having rivers of puss (EW) but it did make them so much scarier. I think it was well paced and action packed, I liked Brookes I hope I can learn more about her and her sister in the next book.

There wasn't really anything I disliked about this book but it very similar to the first book in the Kane Chronicles (which I know is kinda the point) so I felt like I've read it before. I am really interested in the rest of the series though, I think it has a lot of room to grow

Spoiler

especially with setting up other godborn that they need to find

and I can't wait to learn more about Mayan myths!.
