Wow, this book is dark. A gritty, relentlessly realistic and searing commentary on poverty and addiction, set against a backdrop of First Nations traditions and rituals

Took a break from non-fiction to check out Son of a Trickster and boy am I glad I did!! This book is amazing- it made me laugh, made me almost cry, and it kept me on the edge of my seat. I already ordered the next book in the trilogy and I can’t wait for it to arrive in the mail. If you’re looking for a new book to read this is it!!!

I give this book a 3.5-4/5. Didn’t feel very YA to me, loved the relationship between Jared and Nana Sophia. Will continue to read/follow the trilogy.

“Close your eyes. Concentrate on your breath. Remember that you were not always earthbound. Every living creature, every drop of water and every sombre mountain is the by-blow of some bloated, dying star. Deep down, we remember wriggling through the universe as beams of light.”
Eden Robinson, Son of a Trickster
