However, I found the writing and plot to be fine. It didn’t blow me away or surprise me.
Also, as a queer person, I really didn’t like that there was only one character who was queer and that character died before the events of the book. Personally, I wish it wasn’t included at all than have a “bury your gays” trope.

Much of the book is set within a Native community, but the unique experiences of what it means to be Native is portrayed through a wonderfully diverse cast of characters that each experience what that means in a different, but equally real and authentic way.
Fire Keeper’s Daughter masterfully navigates the struggles and tensions of wanting to honor heritage in a modern world that leaves little room for history or indigenous tradition. We see this immediately in our MC, who is constantly trying to balance facts, science and the scientific method that she has a deep seated passion for and the community and tradition that she loves and finds immeasurable comfort in. Figuring out how to make room for both, learning that they do not have to be in opposition, but learning not to let one blind her to the other is our character’s journey, beautifully executed.
Also had a lot of respect for the very real examination of how society at large consistently damages and hurts marginalized communities, even after making demands on members of those communities.
Definitely be aware of CWs: I would say this is a mature YA. (Additional props for showing respect, communication and consent as sexy, ongoing and working both ways.)
But if you want a book that is going to absolutely suck you in and give you a new perspective on everything, I cannot recommend this highly enough. I cannot wait for the author’s upcoming Warrior Girl Unearthed.

Most of the content is handled well, addressed and explicitly processed in a healthy way. But still something to be aware of.aelunny's review against another edition
