Trail of Lightning
by Rebecca Roanhorse
While I am a lover of dystopian books, I don’t think this is one I would have picked up had it not been for the BookTube SFF Awards. This is one of the nominees for the debut novel category and I’m interested to see which book wins.
Part of me is still a little unsure about my feelings for this book. I think I want to like it more than I did. It was a fun and fast paced book but there’s just a few things that I don’t know that I liked.
The characters were interesting enough but I honestly don’t feel like they were developed enough. I don’t feel like I know them like I want to. We get their back stories and they ‘why’ of what they are doing but I feel like somethings missing. I just don’t feel all that invested in them except for maybe the main character a little. I think my feelings with the main character is more that I want her to get her revenge.
The best thing about this story was the world building. Roanhorse has created an incredible interesting and unique world. I was fascinated by the mythology and all of the different Native American inspired tidbits. I loved everything about it. But again, I don’t feel like I got enough. I want to know more. I’m sure we will get more in the second book, but I want it now.
Overall, I liked this book but I wanted more from it. There isn’t anything specific I would say I didn’t like. I just feel like it could have been longer with more character development and more world building. I think I will be continuing the series to see what happens next.
