slow-paced

2.0

A very slow read. The messaging was incredibly important as many don't know the sexual violence and general violence against indigenous women, but the book itself didn't hold my attention like I wished it would.

The topics covered in this book make me feel angry. 

Grace was 15.

It makes me angry, and furious that there are thousands of families experiencing what the Horn family and the Takoda tribe experienced.  

In addition to the content, I also struggled to follow the story telling and time-jumping timelines. I couldn’t understand how some of the folklore tied into the story at times.  I also had trouble understanding Anna as a character. 

This book is going to stick with me for a while though. A haunting story.

4.0

On one level, a mysterious suspense novel. On another level, an exploration of the oral history of First Nation tribes. On another level, a condemnation of the powerful urges to adapt one's self in order to be accepted. Overall, an exploration of the thousands of missing and murdered indigenous women across this continent.
