drs's review against another edition

The writing is fantastic. The content is not what I want to read right now though. Ever since I became a parent I can’t handle stories with violence against children and this one has multiple instances of it in the first 15 pages.

Read the audiobook with Tanya Tagaq as narrator. She is FANTASTIC.

This book is INCREDIBLY dark. If there is ANYTHING that will cause you severe distress while reading I recommend reviewing content warnings online… there are a lot which apply here. Split Tooth doesn’t shy away from the disgusting or the horrifying. There is a lot of abuse happening. However, Split Tooth also captures the beauty of the arctic and folkloric fantasy. I really enjoyed it. I’m disappointed it’s Tanya Tagaq’s only book!

If you read meet the story on its own terms. It has lots to say.


CW: Includes light spoilers. Specifics to help you prepare if you’re concerned. I have accurately tagged in my review below every content warning which applies to the text. There are more than pop up on the general page!

Most graphic stuff: pedophile teacher committing assault, one graphic rape scene, sex happening with child in the room, infanticide, forced pregnancy, a lot of details about pregnancy, hunting causing animal death, children witnessing domestic abuse, self harm via cutting, suicidal ideation and attempt

Dark and disturbing. Poignant and engulfing. Highly recommend the audiobook version - it is read by the author and includes vocalizations and gives an added layer of depth. See content warnings.

I don't really know how to rate this, since I have the feeling that I didn't even understand half of the book. The prose was certainly interesting and beautiful. I am a bit sad that I couldn't get the audiobook. Maybe I would have enjoyed it more.

I'm not sure I entirely "got" this book. Some parts were beautiful and descriptive. Others were dry and pretentious.
