Score: Eight out of ten.
Firekeeper's Daughter by Angelline Boulley circled my recommendations for months till now, and I thought no library would ever get it until a library got it. The book sat there on a display shelf till I picked it up, glanced at the blurb and headed in with high expectations, and when I closed the final page, it was thrilling. Where's Warrior Girl Unearthed?

I think the book starts off a little bit slow, but it picks up and just snowballs extremely fast. With that said, I think all the "slowness" is necessary, as there's a lot of plot threads to set up and I think they were all well-tied in the end.
Edit: I forgot to add this in the original, but check the content warnings. There's some heavy stuff in here, and I really wish I had known about some of it beforehand.

This book has everything that I could have ever wanted in it. From the beginning to the end. Even the pacing of the end to me felt right. I usually find that some YA books when they end have a rushed ending & it’s not a satisfying ending, but this book didn’t have that.
I highly recommend this book to anyone who likes mystery, tiny bit of thriller, some romance, and history. I will say though, please do read the content warnings of this book as it does have some heavy topics that are talked about!!
I stepped into this book blind, and all I knew about it was a local librarian recommended it to me. I can 100% understand the high ratings of this book, it definitely deserves it!
