Full Review on the Blog - Archetypes and Anecdotes
3⭐️ Although this novel was powerful in ways, it lacked depth in others. Expect a character-based book rather than one that is plot-driven. It focuses on internal struggles within individual characters and the Cherokee Nation, rather than physical struggles and conflict. The style is meant to create a sense of dreariness, sadness, and raw heartache in readers through the eyes of grieving family members, only some of which are likable. Additionally, some Cherokee history and folklore are present, but I wish there was more. Although lacking in a moving plot, the message the novel provides about Indigenous / minority voices is important.
