I am obsessed with this book. It’s so so good. The storytelling. The learning of Ojibwe culture. The fast paced last parts of the book. So good.

Man, what a great read. The story was incredible, and I found myself thinking about it throughout the day. Also a nice introduction to indigenous culture of the Great Lakes region, with some thought provoking commentary on the history and remnants of racism and oppression of native peoples. It’s YA, but so sophisticated and well-done. Would love to read more by this author.

I feel like this book had a very slow start 
I also think a glossary of terms in the back of the book would have made my experience more enjoyable

It starts a little slow, but once it picks up it's good. The last 3 hours was a plot twist after another, so that was a little aggravating. I also listened to it at 1.25 speed because I don't think I would've been able to finish it if I kept on listening at its original pace.

• We never find out Jamie's real identity.
• Grant never got punished for sexual assault and it makes my blood boil.
