#72 Trail of Lightning by Rebecca Roanhorse

Set after a global weather disaster that the Navajo protected themselves from by use of their magic as they built a wall around their tribal lands. Magic, gods, and monsters are now walking the lands. Maggie is a one time apprentice to a monster hunter that is a child of two gods. When he disappears, she is the last resort people turn to get a child taken by monsters back. Coyote needs Maggie to go after a monster and she works with someone she has never met before but is the grandson of a man she trusts.
Great world building in this book and well developed characters. This book deserves all the talk around it and I will not be surprised to see it on some ballots next year. Can’t wait for the next one.
