Black Sun by Rebecca Roanhorse
4.0

Initially, I read Black Sun back at the end of 2020 when I first started getting back into reading as a hobby. I enjoyed it back then, as I do now. Although, back then I didn't leave a review lol

I loved all the characters Nara, Serapio, Xiala, and Okoa. Although, now I'm noticing that I wish Okoa had more to do in the story besides being the clueless, fall guy for the most part. I loved Nara and how she's determined to be different from the other Sky Made, despite all odds against her. Serapio and Xiala are so good together and I love their interactions. Overall, I enjoyed the plot but I feel like the ending was super rushed and ended very much chaotic.

I'd still recommend this one though, even with the rushed ending, just because of the slow-burn, the godly powers, and the characters.
