4.0

The lyrical turns of phrase in this book were excellent enough to forgive a plot line that jumped around and meandered at moments. The author has done a superb job mixing in Métis First Nations folklore of the Rogarou (werewolf) into modern day struggles against colonialism and capitalist industries.
