The Sunbearer Trials by Aiden Thomas

adventurous

4.75

Possibly the best YA novel that I’ve read this year (and I read a lot of them as the teen librarian)! Aiden Thomas’ already great storytelling skills have gone up several levels in his third novel, a powerhouse of Mexican-inspired worldbuilding where the half-human children of gods must compete in a series of trials to protect their world. A take on the competition trope that is far from formulaic.
