Great book! The narrator of the audio was very good.  The plot is compelling and ties together history of oppression/ genocide of native peoples and an imagined future where they're hunted for their use to save white people.  The characters are complex. Not all native people are good and not all the whites are bad.  The main character,  Frenchie, does things that are wrong or at least questionable and struggles with huge amounts of trauma, loss,  and violence, as do the others.  The culture and history of indigenous people is interwoven throughout the story.  
Overall a great story and I'm looking forward to reading the sequel!
