Just finished the second book in Rebecca Roanhorse's Sixth World series. Storm of Locusts was a wonderful book set in a post-apocalyptic world after "Big Water". Roanhorse mixes dystopia with traditional Native American folklore. We see glimpses of Coyote and other Indigenous gods/tricksters along with Maggie and Kai's clan powers. It's only been 1 month since the events of Trail of Lightening but Maggie is pulled into another crisis needing her unique set of skills. #SixthWorld #StormofLocusts #rebeccaroanhorse #IndigenousAuthors #representationmatters #speculativefiction #nerdymama #nerdybooks #booknerd #bookriotreadharderchallenge2021 #bookstagram https://www.instagram.com/p/CQB3Oovg0LT/?utm_medium=tumblr

Look, I spent some time deliberating whether to include this with my #blackspeculativefictionmonth posts , because while Roanhorse is Black and Native, these books are thematically and character-wise more on the Native side. Then, additionally there is controversy in Diné author communities about whether these stories are here to tell. I highly recommend that you look up these conversations — there is a good round-up on Debbie Reese’s blog. . . For myself, I enjoyed these books, but stay mindful of the criticisms and also make an effort to read the works of more Indigenous authors. I still recommend this series, but with caveats. . . #rebeccaroanhorse #trailoflightning #stormoflocusts #thesixthworldseries #bookstagram #books #sf #postapocalypse https://www.instagram.com/p/B3cnVRIgY7i/?igshid=1ut99qdhg8kuu
