Summary

The sudden rising waters of a climate apocalypse have destroyed most of the planet…yet out of these waters, Dinétah, a former Navajo reservation, has been miraculously reborn. Listen along as Tanis Parenteau's impeccable narration, capturing the rhythms of Navajo speech, fully envelopes you into the Sixth World. 

When Dinétah needs help finding a missing girl, Maggie - a monster hunter and supernatural killer - is its last, best hope. Trail of Lightning follows our heroine as she walks the land alongside gods, heroes of legend, and monsters alike. Reluctantly, she enlists the aid of an unconventional medicine man, and together they travel Dinétah, unraveling clues from ancient legends and trading favors with tricksters. As Maggie discovers the truth behind the killings, she will have to confront her past if she wants to survive - for what she uncovers about the monster she is sent to find is much more terrifying than anything she could imagine.

A rich world but frustrating characters

there was so much to love about this novel. I reccomended it on the world building alone. unfortunately the motivations of the protagonist were a vague and I struggled to understand the leaps of logic she made, making the story a little unsatisfying. Still a rich and diverse world full of magic and danger.

A slayer of monsters in a postapocalyptic story

The story intriguingly blends native American myths and beings, super powers (connected to clans), monsters killing people, and a main character who is a bad-ass slayer of monsters with abandonment issues, a background of grief and loss, and fears of becoming herself the monster, who reluctantly joins forces with a charming healer to find and destroy the monsters and their creator. Plot twists reveal lies and mischief on many sides, as everyone seems to play their own angle and nothing is as it seems. Hope for a better future is only hinted at in the end. Looking forward to the next novel in the series to find out how the story proceeds.

Thought provoking fantasy

I enjoyed this more than I thought I would, I’ve come to be wary of books that all the so called critics rave about as most of these reviews are always postings and lack honesty, it’s a good book and I look forward to the next instalment for the characters developed
