I do appreciate that we learn more about the culture and the day to day life of the Nez Perce in this novel. Reading about their salmon fishing and how they prepare the fish to last them through the long winter was very interesting. My main complaint continues to be that these books have almost no cohesive storytelling. Kaya continues to be somewhat thoughtless and selfish despite constantly promising to do better. She remains obsessed with her lost horse who has been gone for like 4 books. It’s upsetting to see how she seems more concerned with the lost horse than her blind sister who was also taken captive.

She is reunited with her sister in this novel, but again almost exclusively focuses on what she wants from her sister rather than what her sister wants for herself.

Cute and we learned lots of interesting things, as always. But I felt like this time it wasn't wrapped up well. I turned the page after the last chapter ended and we were actually surprised that it was over. And the decision regarding Speaking Rain's living arrangements seemed super odd and impractical, lol.
