joceraptor 's review for:
The Storm Runner
by J.C. Cervantes
Most of my thoughts on this can be said far more eloquently by Priscilla, so I'll just leave her review here.
Basically, I love the mythology aspects (obviously!) and think there were some innovative and exciting ideas. However the narrative voice really brought this down, particularly because the amount of Zane's internalized ableist thinking. I think the intent was there, but I'm concerned disabled readers would find this more harmful than uplifting. I'll be on the lookout for ownvoices reviews of the disability rep, but I myself found it hard to read.
