A bit of a slow start/rushed ending in my opinion but I liked the overall structure and really enjoyed reading another of Boulley's stories, this time with even more important information packed in!

I found this young-adult book fascinating.  This author has some of the characters from her first book in this second book, but it can be read independently.  I knew nothing about Native American reparations of their ancestors and objects from museums and colleges before this story.  The added mystery of Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women (MMIW) made this story one that kept my interest from the beginning until the end.  I wish there were books like this when I was in high school.

I really enjoyed the journey of this novel, and the tension it highlighted between doing things by the book and seeking justice outside of how things are expected to be done. Like the first book, it manages to cover a lot of ground in a relatively short story. 

If I had to critique anything, I'd say the character of Eric felt a bit underdeveloped. I think his background of being a self-identified 'white hat' ethical hacker could have been a jumping off point to include his journey more into the morality vs legality themes of the novel
