The Wind City
The Wind City | Summer Wigmore
4 posts | 1 read | 6 to read
"Wellington. The wind city. New Zealand's home of art and culture, but darker forces, forgotten forces, are starting to reappear. Aotearoa's displaced iwi atua, the patupaiarehe, taniwha, and ponaturi of legend, have decided to make Wellington their home, and while some have come looking for love, others have arrived in search of blood. A war is coming, and few can stand in their way. Saint (lovably fearless, temporarily destitute, currently unable to find a shirt) may be our only hope. Tony, suddenly unemployed and potentially a taniwha herself, has little choice but to accept the role her bloodline dictates. And Hinewai, who fell with the rain? If she can't find her one true love, there's a good chance that none will live to see the morning"--Publisher information.

I really wanted to like this, I swear I did. I picked it up because it's an #urbanfantasy and features Maori #mythologyandfolklore, and there weren't any other books that did that. And at first, it was really great, but by the midway point the plot falls completely to pieces and never recovers. Worse, it breaks everything else along the way. *sighs* Oh well.

I keep on discovering new words in this book: things from Maori and to some extent Polynesian mythology that give me a direction in which to point my Google-fu so I can learn many new things. This is one of my favorites. I love it when I find connections to my own culture in places I don't expect to find them 😆

Right! So now that I've put up my two-year backlog of posts and reviews, time to bring myself up to speed on what's been going on here while I was gone. So: current book I'm reading, which is The Wind City by Summer Wigmore. Picked it up because Maori mythology and folklore, which I don't see a lot of books about.

Also, a question: what's this #bookspin hashtag I'm seeing?
