Welcome to The Sunbearer Trials, where ten semidioses compete in a series of challenges with the highest of stakes in this breathtaking, Mexican-inspired fantasy from Aiden Thomas, the author of the New York Times-bestselling Cemetery Boys.
Only the most powerful and honorable will be chosen.
Teo, the seventeen-year-old trans son of the goddess of birds, isn’t worried. As a Jade, it’s unlikely he’ll be chosen to compete in the Trials, and even if his best friend Niya competes, she’s a born-and-bred Gold semidiós with unparalleled abilities.
But for the first time in over a century, Sol chooses not one, but two Jade competitors: Teo – and Xio, the thirteen-year-old child of the god of bad luck. With the odds stacked against them, Teo is determined to get himself and his friends through the trials unscathed – for fame, glory, and their own survival . . .

I think Percy Jackson meets The Hunger Games is an excellent description. Loved the story, loved the characters and loved the narration. Just a bit too much Spanish which is harder in audio format, though it contains important information (like the Gods’ names).

Kinderversie van de hungergames. Enkel zijn er totaal geen regels tijdens de trials die telkens maar 10 min. duren (onrealistisch kort). Het verdere gebrek aan logica en scoreverdeling in de trials stoort me enorm. Als de oppergod ranking toekent al naar zijn eigen goesting, waarom kiest hij dan niet meteen een offer uit and be done with it? Verder, ik snap dat er nood is aan inclusiviteit in boeken, maar je kan het ook overdrijven: van de 10 kinderen die meedoen aan de trials zijn er al zeker 2 trans, eentje heeft pronouns they/them/their (wat grammaticaal een nachtmerrie is om naar te luisteren), eentje is homoseksueel (of heeft toch gevoelens voor de transpersoon die van meisje naar jongen is gegaan), eentje is doof, eentje heeft homoseksuele ouders,...Verder creëert de schrijver een fantasy wereld met (half)goden en mythologie, maar gooit dan te pas en te onpas social media (TikTak en Instagrafica, serieus?) in de mix... dit verpest de hele sfeersetting van het boek.
