This book was amazing! It was great to hear about an experience in the old West that wasn't a white persons! This book had amazing prose, and was brilliant to read. It was chilling and haunting, and by the end you just fall in love with everyone you hated at the start. I dropped my rating down from a 5 because in some parts I just wasn't excited to read, but this book otherwise really did it for me.
Graphic: Racism, Death of parent, Death, and Blood
Moderate: Racial slurs, Cultural appropriation, and Abandonment
