Personally I found the book very very average. Whilst I appreciated the importance of telling the story of Native Americans and the ills they suffered, I found the literary side to be lacking. The narrative drive from my perspective wasn’t strong, and it felt like a failed attempt to attach a fictional narrative to a real life historical story. That said, there are some beautiful descriptions and writing, I just feel that on the whole it could have been put together better with a better narrative force

I tried the audiobook and I think it would work better if I read the physical book at a different time instead.
