Black Sun starts off with heavy AF content. 😅 So much so that I reread the entire first chapter asking myself "did that really just happen?" 🤯 You KNOW it HAD to be good because it got me out of my reading funk. 🙌🏽But because of said funk, it took me a minute to get into it so, it's a 4 instead of 5 star read. Oddly enough, I think if I reread it I'd rate it higher, which I don't think I've ever said. 🤔
There were a lot of characters, locations, and time jumps throughout, which is generally a disaster for me. But, somehow? This worked masterfully. I love that it is a fantasy book based around Pre-Columbian Americas! I love how diverse the characters were! I LOVE that it started out with a character log! (When I started with book journals five years ago, it was because of lack of character logs/maps).
I desperately want this book made into a TV series. It was way too fantastical to squeeze into a movie. 📺
