cassie_gutman 's review for:

Sharks in the Time of Saviors by Kawai Strong Washburn

5.0

---

One of the most stunning books I've read in a while. I began in print but switched to audio, and I must say, the audiobook is incredible. With a full cast and narration to match the written dialect, I was fully immersed in this story and the world of this family. I got chills, I cried (several times), and I was utterly captivated. It's a heavy story, but an unforgettable one.
