Still mulling over my feelings on this book. I wanted to throw it out a window, but was also unable to put it down. Definitely this is not a story I liked, mostly because this kind of dark, grittiness is not really my favorite thing to read.
In terms of the quality of the writing, though, this is top notch. I mean the story absolutely hooked me in right away and I ended up finishing this in nearly one sitting. If you are a fan of horror, I would definitely recommend. As for myself, I think this story will be sticking with me for a while, and if that isn't a recommendation in and of itself, I don't know what is.
Note: I can't speak to the quality of the indigenous representation, but I have seen some own voices reviews that were very positive.
