“Someone please cancel Supernatural already and give us at least five seasons of this badass Indigenous monster-hunter and her silver-tongued sidekick.” —The New York Times

While most of the world has drowned beneath the sudden rising waters of a climate apocalypse, Dinétah (formerly the Navajo reservation) has been reborn. The gods and heroes of legend walk the land, but so do monsters—and it is up to one young woman to unravel the mysteries of the past before they destroy the future.
Maggie Hoskie is a Dinétah monster hunter, a supernaturally gifted killer. When a small town needs help finding a missing girl, Maggie is their last best hope. But what Maggie uncovers about the monster is much more terrifying than anything she could imagine.
Maggie reluctantly enlists the aid of Kai Arviso, an unconventional medicine man, and together they travel the rez, unraveling clues from ancient legends, trading favors with tricksters, and battling dark witchcraft in a patchwork world of deteriorating technology.
As Maggie discovers the truth behind the killings, she will have to confront her past if she wants to survive.
Welcome to the Sixth World.

“This book is like Supernatural meets Fallout. Trail of Lightning is the first in a series by Rebecca Roanhorse, who is better known for writing Black Sun. I haven’t read her more recent books, but this book does read like more of a debut novel. There were some spots where the writing could’ve been less clunky or more clear, but that wasn’t enough for me not to love the book. The world is original and fantastic. Earth has flooded and only a few strongholds of civilization remain in America. With the end of the world came the return of the gods and monsters of Native American lore. Maggie is a Diné monsterslayer with a rough past and hard exterior. She tries to fly under the radar but a sudden uptick in monster attacks forces her to take action. This series would make a great TV shiw and I’m excited to read the sequel!”Diverse charactersMulti-layered charactersOriginal writingUnpredictableDark settingImmersive settingDark
