xavia 's review for:

Trail of Lightning by Rebecca Roanhorse
4.0

We read this book for book club.

At first I was intimidated by the heavy use of words I didn't recognize, but with time (and a handmade glossary) it got easier. The story started off darker than I was expecting, but I was able to adjust after a short while and I really liked the book.

It gave me very strong Shadowrun vibes, and as I've been playing Shadowrun for almost a decade now, I think that made it easier to fall into the world. I also got a lot of Percy Jackson vibes, if Percy was a Shadowrunner and was a lot less picky about killing monsters vs. humans.

Overall, I really liked this book and am looking forward to the sequel.
