A review by jldyer
Great Chief by Lindsay Buroker
4.0
I had to think for a period of time before I realized how I should rate this book. I think at first I was bothered by Yanko's naivete, but in the end, it was his optimism that won me over. I want to be the type of person who is kind and generous and the type of friend that Yanko was.
It's still pretty ridiculous what happened to him in the end. I'm trying to stay spoiler-free, but I'm willing to overlook that and buy into the promise of what he offered with his character and the experience that he earned due to events that were thrust on him.
There's also something I always enjoy about Lindsy's writing, which is usually found in the dialog and the quirks and adventures that the characters share. Many of her other characters are also optimists and their struggle with encountering horror in the world and their ability to keep their optimism always makes me feel good. It's the nuance in life that makes it interesting sometimes and those we come to love that makes it worth it.
