I’m so sad I haven’t seen much press or content about this one because it was so good!
Firekeeper’s Daughter was one of my favorite books I read in 2021 so I couldn’t wait to get my hands on a copy of Warrior Girl Unearthed and I was not disappointed! I could not put it down.
I love the way Boulley writes and is able to pull her readers straight into her characters’ worlds. I loved being reintroduced to Daunis’s family and the Ojibwe community on Sugar Island, but this time following another incredible female MC, Perry Firekeeper-Birch. I love that you don’t need to read FKD to read WGU. I loved learning about NAGPRA (and was sickened to learn how little that has helped in the effort to repatriate ancestors, human remains (yes, human remains), and indigenous objects/artifacts to their rightful communities). I loved rooting for Perry and her team of misfits navigating the line between morality and legality.
It was fun, romantic, suspenseful, informative, gut wrenching, and hopeful all at the same time. Boulley really packs it all in there for you.
My only complaint is that I was hoping for some things to play out differently in the end, but I’m sure this will still be in my top 10 this year. I can’t wait to read whatever Boulley writes next!!
Thank you to Macmillan Audio for my ALC!
