Stormdancer
by Jay Kristoff
This was such a cool story about feudal, steampunk Japan. I absolutely loved the worldbuilding, it was complex and rich but still understandable. Kristoff really did his research when forming the world, language and customs of Shima.
This story was also a cautionary tale of what happens to a society that ruins and poisons the land it lives on. I feel like it really reflected the current predicament with climate change really well and it made me a little afraid of what the future on Earth will look like.
My favorite part was definitely seeing Yukiko and Buruu, the arashitora, begin to bond throughout the course of the story. Buruu had a wicked sense of humor and always could make me laugh. The plot was a bit crazy at times, but I really loved the adventure Yukiko went on. So many things were not as they seemed and my head was definitely spinning by the end! Can't wait to see what this badass will do next!
