So many of the characters are lovely, and there is a compelling mystery woven into Perry’s summer. The stakes are deeply political, complex, communal and saddening. I love that there is a little bibliography at the end, adding a bunch of the books to my TBR. 

However, I just did not care for the romance. There was so much more interesting things going on that I just didn’t care. Also, some of the dialogue is incredibly corny.

I really enjoyed listening to this book via @Libro.fm's Educator ALC program. I was engaged in the story from the first and also it was very informative about MAGRA (sp?) and how museums have appropriated Native American ceremonial objects and human remains and then refused to return them to the communities even today. The book also tackles the Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women movement. It is really hard not to compare this to Firekeeper's Daughter, and I did think that the ending and reveal of the mystery was a little less developed and had less hints leading up to it. Highly recommend for high schoolers and adult readers who can handle the heavy content.

I loved this book as much as Firekeeper’s Daughter. Warrior Girl Unearthed is Indigenous Lara Croft Indeed!! If I could give it more than 5 stars I would.
