I absolutely loved and inhaled this incredible fantasy adventure story. The trials are brutally difficult and suspenseful, each one escalating in danger, and will keep you reading late into the night. I love the combination of ancient mythology and tradition integrated into a modern queernormative society. The world building is lush and vividly described. The characters are complex, flawed and well-developed, with incredibly diverse representation.

His goal in the trials is to survive with his Gold friend Niya and protect the younger Jade semidios who seems ill equipped for the intense competition. Teo is mischievous, funny, impulsive, loyal and has a strong sense of justice. Teo is a Jade, and it is a major upset when he and another Jade semidios are chosen for the trials. In the history of Reino del Sol, the Gold semidioses have traditionally been the ones to compete in the trials the Jades have typically been spared from competing. Now they must compete in five trials against Gold opponents who are more powerful and better trained. The loser of the trials is sacrificed so that the Sol stones can be replenished. The Sunbearer Trials by Aiden Thomas - Teo, and Xio, the thirteen-year-old child of the god of bad luck. Every ten years semidioses from all over the land compete in a series of dangerous trials to become the next Sunbearer, whose role is to carry light and energy to the Sol stones, which keep the selfish Obsidian dioses powerless and trapped in the stars. The story follows Teo, the trans semidios son of Quetzal, Diosa of birds. The Sunbearer Trials is a fantasy inspired by Mexican mythology, set in the modern land of Reino del Sol, each of its cities governed by a different dios. But then Sol chose him to compete in Aiden Thomas’s Latinx Fantasy THE SUNBEARER TRIALS.
