Perhaps this was just the build up for the 2nd book, but it left you in a place you can just stop.

The foreboding and looming danger will put you on edge from start to finish.

Definitely speculative thriller, not post-apocalyptic sci fi.

*The audiobook in combination with the written text was the way to go!

This book sucked me in and I couldn't put it down. I loved that it was sparse, but also felt very concerned with small homey moments. It's dark and I wouldn't look here for a ton of resolution. I think my only complaint was how the last chapter jumped forward.

A stunning story of resiliency, community, and survival. I felt a deep chill while reading this book, but I never lost hope that the protagonists would prevail against all odds.

I don't think I'm the ideal audience for this book, so I don't know how to rate it fairly. It was very well written and interesting, however, it was slow moving for me- I like more character and relationship development. Although a relatively long span of time passes in the book, it's plot focused. I loved learning more about Anishinabek culture and rez life. I would read something else by this Idigenous Canadian author.
