that being said I do think this is an excellent book, just not written in a style that is my exact taste.
My favourite thing about it was the way it weaved the more fantastical elements like ghosts and visions with the historical story (roderick was one of my favourite characters). The details of the native american belief systems and culture were absolutely fascinating. I knew nothing about the termination bill before reading this, and finding out how much of the characters stories was rooted in reality was eye opening.
I wish the ending was cleaner, I felt that Patrice’s story wasn’t really wrapped up considering what a prominent character she was (I also wanted her to end up with Millie lol), but again i think that’s just my personal taste rather than an objective mark against the book itself.
all in all i’m really glad I read this book, the spiritual descriptions were amazing, as well as being able to read small bits of the Chippewa language
