I'll be honest and say that I did struggle a bit understanding the backstory with the dystopian aspects towards the beginning, but this is the kind of story that has a very intentional feel to the writing. I am definitely looking forward to see what Cherie Dimaline puts out in the future now.

It is a slow moving book, though the premise and the themes of loss in indigenous cultures is insightful, I found I wished more from characters in terms of development and understanding.
