Hugo reading strikes again and I think we may now be at the point of "I wish I had gotten around to it before reading for awards-reasons", because my head was NOT in this book.
And, having said that, it did the thing where weird stuff happens in the prologue and then you have no context and go off to meet more new people so it took me until at least halfway through the book itself to be invested in what was going to happen and, even then, I think I just spent a lot of time being frustrated.
I appreciated what Roanhorse was trying to do, but it took so long to come together and then it did for a brief moment and then that was the end of the book, stay tuned for the sequel. I wanted more from THIS book.
