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.

Rape is not on page, only mentioned and discussed several times on page. There are no child deaths on page, but mentions of young children who have passed.monnibo's review

It was great to see some of the characters from the previous book but for this one to focus on other characters and have a separate storyline. Perry Firekeeper-Birch is so determined and I loved her as a protagonist. Angeline Boulley did such a good job showing Perry's resourcefulness as she is placed in situations she hadn't planned on being in for the summer.
WARRIOR GIRL UNEARTHED is definitely character-driven, but there is still a strong plot to the story. It is a mix of both, as where FIREKEEPER felt like a mix but with more plot development than character development.
I also loved learning more about Indigenous culture! One example is the use of Ojibwemowin and English in this book. While I didn't know some of the terms that weren't translated into English, Boulley was able to place them in sentences that offered easy context for non-Ojibwe people to understand.
What was also interesting to learn more about is the repatriation process of the ancestral remains of Indigenous people. WARRIOR GIRL UNEARTHED deals with the topic of the MMIW (Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women) movement which is rarely covered in mainstream media that has Missing White Women Syndrome. The mishandling and theft of the remains of Indigenous people is a devastating occurrence since it is yet another example of white people taking something that wasn't theirs to begin with.
The light and dark parts of this book made it such a fantastic read. I loved it so much and hope that Angeline Boulley comes out with more books in the near future.
