Horizon Zero Dawn 1: The Sunhawk by @amely

By Pamelascott

Horizon: a far-future Earth full of epic natural beauty and forgotten ruins, where awe-inspiring, animal-like machines are the dominant species and humans struggle to survive in pre-industrial tribes. In the aftermath of a titanic battle that almost laid waste to the capital of Meridian, Talanah, one of the greatest machine-hunters in the land, struggles to find her place in the rebuilding effort. Making matters worse, Aloy, her trusted friend and confidant, has disappeared. When a new threat emerges in the hinterlands, she must decide how best to serve her tribe, her friends and herself.

I'm a fan of the Horizon Zero Dawn game even though I haven't completed it. I really enjoyed this book. I thought the full-colour illustrations throughout were well done and visually impressive. They really brought the story to life. The book includes enough back story about the world so you don't need to know anything about the game to enjoy it. I found the story engaging and compelling.
