Between the beautiful myths and amazing storytelling, Medina truly makes readers think about what it means when a person goes missing. He also shares what it’s like when it seems no one cares or no one can actually do anything. Sisters of the Lost Nation dives explicitly into what it’s like when members of indigenous people are taken, go missing, or face struggles. As a heartbreaking story, it tells a necessary narrative without softening the facts. 

It was gorgeously written and achingly true when it came down to it. Medina’s work is one that absolutely should be read.
