Reading this took me longer than expected, and I didn't really end up with strong feelings about it either way. I realized quickly I really admired the writing, but the story moves slowly and repetitively, and the longer it dragged on the more I kept wondering whether I missed something(s). I probably did, in the sense that I am not from the US and this was my first time reading a Native American author; perhaps I would have enjoyed this more if I didn't feel so clueless about its context and scenery. In the end this wasn't really for me, but I can see the beauty in it and absolutely imagine others loving this!
