I wish that the conflict in the book happened earlier so we could see the aftermath of it. I felt like a lot of what lead up to the powwow wasn’t totally necessary, and I would’ve preferred it be swapped out for after the powwow. The amount of characters was also hard for me to follow along with, but I did enjoy slowly seeing how they were all connected and crossed paths with each other.
