Really really enjoyed this fantasy adventure. As a fan of the genre, I didn’t realize how absolutely refreshing it would be to have a world inspired not by medieval Europe but by the Americas, pre-Colombian specifically. The characters, the landscape, the wardrobes - it all has been touched by Roanhorse’s attention to detail, exploration of history, and vivid imagination. She has created a world of characters that you aren’t ready to leave by the last page. Good thing it’s Book One.
