Definitely a slow burn but I thoroughly enjoyed that. I liked figuring out the bits and pieces of the story along the way. The framework of the story is also really unique in that I got so invested in the time-period part of the book that I completely forgot about Etsy. So when we did finally return to her, it was a big “oh yeah!” moment for me.

“What I am is the Indian who can’t die. I’m the worst dream America ever had.”
“it wasn’t us, it would have been another regiment,” I said, calmer again. “You can’t stop a country from happening, Good Stab.” “But we were already a nation,” he said up to me. “We didn’t ask you to come.”
This is my first time reading one of Stephen Graham Jones' books, and I can assure you it won't be the last! What a first impression.
After watching Sinners, I was craving more vampire stories rooted in historical fiction, but with a non-white main character, and this book is precisely that.
The different POVs gave so many more nuances to the story, making it richer and compelling. I loved the characters and the ambiance.
I would have enjoyed it more if it had jumped between the present and the diary story more frequently.
