I loved this mystery. The characters were excellent, the action and pacing was great, and the educational aspect was very deftly done. It reminded me a lot of Reservation Dogs (a lot in here only for Indigenous audiences, but also a lot for everyone else, and a great mix of entertaining and reverent). Virgil is an amazing antihero (though that feels a little too negative).

This was disappointing :// pretty predictable storyline and one-dimensional protagonist. There were a few beautiful scenes but it mostly read like fan fiction. It was interesting to learn more about Lakota culture tho!

I listened to the audiobook. It was good. I enjoyed the descriptions of some of the history and ceremonies.
