I loved the story, but Brandr’s character was flat to me. Everything toward the end seemed to kind of get jumbled, and Brandr’s character made even less sense. This book also covers gender, race, and colonialism in… possibly not good ways? The author’s white, but the story is about Inuit, there is a lot of talk of Omat’s gender, and some other stuff.
The story was fast-paced and never boring and I liked Omat’s character, but idk how I feel about the aforementioned issues were handled.

This book is incredible. The first few pages contain some of the most beautiful writing I've ever read. It's a tough read at times though- definitely check the trigger warnings because there are some painful moments. But it is a wonderful journey that melds wonderful myths and traditions together to make something wonderful.
