Trail of Lightning

roanhorse's writing was great in this! fast paced and easy to read, it was always exciting to see what was going to happen next.

maggie is a hard character to love; she's very abrasive and damaged due to tragedy. kai is her foil, and is easy to like.

i didn't understand coyote‘s motives in the end... he did all those horrible things so maggie could become a weapon. but why? just...for fun?

i also had a hard time following along with the hoops and the fire drill. i didn't really understand what they did until they were being used lol.

more development with neizghani and maggie would've been super appreciated, so that we could better understand her feelings towards him, and also neizghani as a character. the scenes where they're finally reunited and when neizghani is ultimately betrayed would feel more important if i cared more about both parties.

will def pick up the next book!
