I read this one almost back to back after finishing the first one and I almost think I liked it better? You get to see firsthand the horrors of the harvesting/conversion schools and it's terrifying. Really interesting sequel.

So much more than a YA fantasy book! This was a compelling, continuation of the Marrow thieves story featuring the rag-tag cast of Indigenous characters I fell in love with the first time as they continue to evade capture by authorities looking to use their blood to cure people afflicted with a pandemic like disease.

So much of this dystopian story rings eerily true, from the legacy of residential schools, the history of racial discrimination and ill treatment of Indigenous peoples and of course life during a pandemic. I couldn't put this sequel down and look forward to more should we be so lucky. Much thanks to NetGalley, Libro.fm and the publisher for my review copies!

this series (marrow thieves + hunting by stars) are some of the most important books i think i have ever read. they remind me of who i am, where i have come from, and who i want to be. such a gift.
