Black Sun by Rebecca Roanhorse
5.0
adventurous dark emotional informative reflective sad tense medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: Yes
Diverse cast of characters: Yes
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

I came in with no expectations and was immediately hooked. The world building is phenomenal, and I love the detail of the political systems and the characters. Truly a morally grey world, filled with nuanced complexity. I have not read a fantasy series inspired by Central/South American history before this, and I am so far very pleased with what Roanhorse has done. Thoroughly excited to read the rest of the trilogy.
