rainweaver13 's review for:
Trail of Lightning
by Rebecca Roanhorse
Viewing a different world
Maggie Hoskie is a complex and conflicted woman, forced to live with feeling both alone and needed and feared. In the course of this, her first adventure, she faces wily gods, uncertain companions, lost (or maybe not) love (or maybe not) ... and monsters . Standard enough SF/fantasy fare, but Roanhorse's post-apocalyptic world and the story's setting firmly within Dine culture is an absolute joy to experience.
Please don't take this the wrong way, but once again I'm left wishing that I had a rich cultural background to draw on. Roanhorse is a dandy writer, tells a ripping good story, and I'm looking forward to my next meeting with Maggie Hoskie, Monsterslayer.
