The Spear Cuts Through Water by Simon Jimenez
5.0
adventurous challenging reflective tense slow-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Plot
Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: Complicated
Diverse cast of characters: Yes
Flaws of characters a main focus: Complicated

The most absolutely beautifully indigenous story telling that I’ve read in some time. A distinctly oral tradition written into script and a gently homoerotic story line that allows the story to drive forward through so much violence but all you want to do is root for and support these two boys as they save their country in the most unique ways.
