Firekeeper's Daughter by Angeline Boulley

4.0

What an excellent book. Not only were the story (mystery) and characters well thought out, but I loved the indigenous knowledge and sense of place the book provided. I struggled somewhat with the repetitive aspect of the story or retelling of events throughout, which was more for the YA audience. I could have also done without some of the violence that happened although I appreciate the issue it was raising by including this (although I felt overall it could have potentially been left out - jury’s still out here). This is definitely a book that gives insight into current challenges and triumphs experienced by indigenous communities. I recommend it.
