The slow building of tension throughout the book is easily it's strongest point, and

the decision not to elaborate on the cause of the apocalypse is a key part of that

. While I do feel like the community was very well described, too many of the characters felt one note for me to say the same of them. While I understand why the author would feel the need to elaborate on the roots of problems specific to the history of Indigenous exploitation, the commentary felt too much like exposition that would interrupt the voice of the character speaking fairly often, which could be rather jarring at times.

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.
