Book description
Storm of Locusts (The Sixth World, #2)
By Rebecca Roanhorse
Narrated by: [Narrator's name, if known]
Rebecca Roanhorse's Storm of Locusts confirms her standing as a commanding voice in speculative fiction, delivering a sequel that is as thematically rich as it is viscerally engaging. Narrated with compelling authority, this installment in The Sixth World series expands the post-apocalyptic landscape of Dinétah while deepening the personal stakes for its protagonist, Maggie Hoskie.
Following the events of Trail of Lightning, Maggie attempts to resume her role as a monster hunter, only to be drawn into a web of cults, clan politics, and cosmic threats. When the Goodacre twins arrive with news of Kai's disappearance and rumored allegiance to the enigmatic White Locust, Maggie is compelled to confront both external dangers and unresolved tensions in her relationships. The audiobook format enhances the urgency of her journey, with the narration capturing the grit of Maggie's voice and the eerie cadence of Navajo myth rendered in contemporary horror.
Roanhorse's world-building remains a standout feature-mythologies rooted in Diné tradition interweave seamlessly with post-apocalyptic realism, producing a narrative that feels both ancient and immediate. The pacing is relentless, punctuated by moments of introspection that allow for deeper exploration of identity, loyalty, and survival. Supporting characters are rendered with distinct voices, their interactions with Maggie adding texture and emotional weight to the unfolding crisis.
The revelation of the White Locust's true nature serves as a pivotal twist, challenging Maggie's assumptions and reshaping the trajectory of the series. The audiobook's delivery ensures that these revelations land with maximum impact, the narrator's tonal shifts underscoring the gravity of each disclosure.
Storm of Locusts is a powerful continuation that cements Roanhorse's ability to blend Indigenous storytelling traditions with speculative fiction in ways that are both innovative and deeply respectful. This audiobook is essential listening for fans of mythic fiction and those invested in narratives that foreground cultural specificity and narrative urgency.
