5.0

A few places dragged, a few bits were too on the nose. Nothing worth dropping a star over, I liked this one very much and there were some very interesting and creative ideas and turns of phrase. Great wo ld-building, I appreciate that the reader is expected to know something about native people or look it up. The uncanny image of

the rougarou dancing away too fast for comprehension

really creeped me the fuck out and lingered. There were several well-set-up heartbreaks that I knew were leading somewhere and when I figured them out I consciously thought "oh, noooo" but was desperate to keep reading to see them fulfilled. Excellent narration by Michelle St John.
