Winter Counts by David Heska Wanbli Weiden
4.5
adventurous dark emotional medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: Complicated
Diverse cast of characters: Yes
Flaws of characters a main focus: Complicated

This book is a solid 4.5 stars for me, the only reason it was a full 5 is because the twist was somewhat predictable. 

That being said, what a profound story of Lakota tradition, family, grief, and trauma. David crafts a story that is gritty and yet touching. Highly recommend if you're looking for a thriller that will leave you with tears in your eyes by the last page.
