I've finished: Black Sun by Rebecca Roanhorse

Black Sun was a fun read, I turned to it at every listening opportunity.

The world, the magic, the amazing animals.

The only thing that troubled me was the naivete of the characters. They feel like a bunch of teens with no notion of the dangerous world they live in. I loved spending time with them, but there was almost always a dissonance between the way they talked and thought and the reality they grew up in.

The only exception was Serapio, who is both competent and aware of the world he inhabits.

He is also one of the best portrayals of a blind character I've ever read. Despite his magical powers that let him see sometimes and perform outlandish feats. He mostly uses his regular senses skillfully, without invoking super human abilities.

AND HE NEVER, EVER, ASKS TO TOUCH SOMEBODY'S FACE!
