Ugh. This one was a slog because of its execution.
I’m a little disappointed because WHAT A UNIQUE PLOT. multi-POV from 1970s AIM, 1880s colonial period with Custer and Great Plains tribes? Seriously I have not been more intrigued by a premise in a loooooong time.
But the execution was sub-par. Custer’s POV felt flat and fluffy, mostly detailing his strange extended family. Nancy’s POV (1970s) felt too disconnected to the overall theme for my liking. Little Wolf’s POV was the best, by far, but again felt fluffy at times.
Maybe some better editing would’ve flushed out some of the page-goal sentences and narrowed this one down to a solid 280page banger. A little big more beef in the Custer chapter would’ve been delightful, too.
Can some revisions be made so I can have a reread? 😂
