I’m reviewing all four of these graphic novels as one, because I think they work much better when considered together, while individually they are a little short to really sink your teeth into. When taken as a whole, Echo’s discovery of Métis history and her family’s history, and how that impacts her life, is very compelling. The art is gorgeous, and I also learned a lot about Métis history, both from the stories themselves and the notes afterwards.
