While the emphasis on Mayan Mythology with a disabled main character should be a very unique and entertaining read, The Storm Runner fails to meet every beat it tried to hit. Zane has potential to be a very interesting character but the only personality he has is complaining about his limp caused by a shortened leg, for which he uses a cane. While it is normal to have a character develop from self-hating to self-loving over the course of a book or series, Zane's self-pity quickly becomes annoying and during most fights there are various ways that his limp disappears all together, sending mixed messages to disabled readers.
Brooks is described as the most amazing person ever by the biased main character while in the story itself she is very dull and uninteresting. Again, this bias is completely normal for main characters to have, you want your main characters to be interested in their love interest. But if you say a character is amazing, prove it within the story itself.
