Black Sun by Rebecca Roanhorse

5.0

Black Sun is my favorite fantasy read of the year so far -- it gripped me from the very beginning and did not let go even once. I loved the epic scope of the world Rebecca has created, the sense of history and lore that is hiding beneath the surface (surely to be explored further in the sequels!), and the rich prose that brought it all to life. I also found all the POV characters compelling, their stories urgent and their motivations well laid out. Especially loved Serapio, who seems like such a tragic, doomed figure yet is really humanized throughout the entire book. Honestly can't wait for what's next!
