Warrior Girl Unearthed was my favorite kind of "sequel", where it's more a spin off from a secondary character- Perry Firekeeper-Birch. Perry is forced into this summer intern program after crashing her aunt's jeep. While interning she learns about a nearby college hoarding indigenous remains and absolutely charges into this new job in repatriating remains. When she finds some hidden remains that are supposed to be secret, Perry sets off on a quest/heist to get them back, but find herself in the middle of a serial killer's plot.
The characters in this book are absolutely a delight. Perry is so spicy and relatable. I loved seeing her grow and develop as a person. I enjoyed the way Boulley integrated such rounded characters and the way that their flaws progressed the story.
I don't know how she does it, but Boulley teaches me something new about indigenous culture and their struggles. The first book really highlighted the Missing Murdered Indigenous Women. This book highlighted the struggles of repatriating indigenous remains and funerary objects. It breaks my heart, Knowing how much they must fight for their living and dead ancestors.
Fantastic book and great for teen readers (a lot less adult content in this book than the last). Highly recommended for the heist and the education.

It's been *just* long enough since I read Firekeeper's Daughter that I had a hard time placing some of the shared characters. The stories are connected rather than a true series, so it was fine that I couldn't remember anything, but I think it would have added to the experience to be able to make those connections.
