It's got some amazing lines, but the experimental nature didn't land for me. It's appropriative of Native American culture and history in an ironic way that doesn't land well today, it's sexist and chauvinistic, and the content is overtly sexual where it serves almost no narrative purpose. There's a trigger warning for just about everything too.

I finished it. I don't regret it. I don't recommend it.

I have no time for a shit book that is gross and racist toward the Kanien'kehĂ :ka. Almost threw the book across my bedroom, but I did not want to wake my mom up. Honestly I regret having read even a few pages.
