Sharks in the Time of Saviors
by Kawai Strong Washburn
This novel follows the members of a Hawaiian family throughout their children's early childhood to college and adulthood, however there are aspects of Hawaiian spirituality throughout that play a large part in the plot and character development. In my opinion, all of the spirituality missed the mark, it was interesting until it fizzled out and wasn't given much of a backstory or context. The conflicts were well-written and important but the author should've chosen one of the other, it almost feels like two different stories. You're reading about someone dealing with accepting their sexuality, taking drugs, a brother going to jail and then all of sudden the music and magic of the world is everywhere and the dead are among us, it just wasn't fluid.
