π The Sunbearer Trials by Aiden Thomas Book Review π
2nd book of January 2023 and 2nd of the year:
Described as Percy Jackson meets The Hunger Games(two series that I love), this was an amazing start to a new series! I absolutely loved the representation and the celebration of queerness in it, with representation for characters who have had top surgery, characters who use/have used binders, trans characters, queer, gay, and lesbian characters, queer and non-binary Gods, gender confirmation ceremonies, characters who are questioning, characters who have dysphoria, disabled characters, Latinx characters and mythology, sign language, beautiful friendships, and more! The writing, magic, and world-building were amazing, with the characters and the world jumping off the page and feeling so real, and I loved the mythology! TWs for blood, bullying, child abuse, cursing, death, death of children, dysphoria, fire, injury, mention of human sacrifices, and violenceππππ³οΈβππ³οΈββ§οΈ
