Rebecca Roanhorse's Black Sun
It took me a while to really get into this and I almost put it town several times (one character was conceived to be the vessel of a god, and is subject to a fair amount of abusive tutoring; another character is one of four Priests of the local religion but is frustratingly clueless about the politics that entails and I found reading her sections very annoying). Luckily one of the four POV characters is a half mermaid lady sea captain and she rules, plus there is some really interesting religion/magic going on, so I kept plowing along, and by the end I was feeling it. I am mildly curious about events and will probably read the second book when it comes out. B+.
