Ich stehe als Statue von einem Mädchen erstarrt im Wald, nur meine Augen bewegen sich...

- Firekeeper's Daughter, 1%

🎧 als Hörbuch gehört

Es sind schon mehrere Wochen vergangen, seid ich mit diesem Hörbuch fertig geworden bin und ich warte immer noch auf die große Eingebung, wie ich dieses Buch jetzt finden soll... Der Hype hat mich noch immer nicht erfasst.

Was ich mochte:
+ das Setting in Michigan an der kanadischen Grenze, die Seen, die Natur... das Setting war meine liebste Rolle
+ Native Tribes! Als erstes Werk aus dem Genre First Nations Literature bin ich jedenfalls sehr erpicht noch weiter einzutauchen
+ die Protagonistin Daunis war super sympathisch
+ die Geschichte war spannend, nimmt gegen Schluss nochmal richtig Fahrt auf und entwickelt sich zu einem richtigen Thriller
+ allgemein, der Schreibstil sehr angenehm
+

sie sind am Schluss NICHT zusammengekommen!!! Wird oft in Romance dann über alle Lügen und sonstigen Verletzungen hinweggesehen, zu Gunsten des Happy Ends, ist das hier nicht so, and I love everything about it!

Was mich davon abhält 5 Sterne zu geben:
- es war stellenweise soooo zäh, dass ich gar nicht Lust hatte weiterzuhören, einfach viel unnötige Nebenhandlungen, um noch ein paar Seiten mehr zu füllen... dadurch hatte man das Gefühl es passiert hier nichts, furchtbar langatmig.
- Es waren für meinen Geschmack zu viele Charaktere und es war mir nicht so ganz klar, wer da jetzt wichtig ist, wen man sich jetzt merken soll. Und ich glaube manche wurden mehrmals erwähnt, wurden von mir aber dann später wieder als jemand anderes (neues) wahrgenommen. Mir ist klar, dass es hier auch um die Community geht, und da sind halt mehrere Personen erforderlich, aber verwirrt hat es mich trotzdem. 😃 Vielleicht lag es auch daran, dass ich das Hörbuch gehört habe, vielleicht wäre es mir beim Lesen nicht so gegangen.
- Idk, irgendwie fühlte ich Daunis Verlust von Lily gar nicht, außer das sie oft an sie denkt... Aber gut, jeder trauert anders 🤷‍♀🤷‍♀
- mein größter Kritikpunkt (TW Vergewaltigung):

meine Notizen: Omg the rape scene, I can't 😱😱😱 - or more the scenes after!!! -- Ich fand diese Szene so unnötig, da sie im großen Ganzen der Handlung keine allzu große Rolle gespielt hat, außer das Daunis Vermutungen über Motive von diversen Personen anstellen konnte. Mal abgesehen davon, dass ich diese Szene als krass traumatisch und triggernd empfand und wahrscheinlich die schlimmste Rape Scene war, die ich je gelesen hab (vor allem das direkt danach!!), hat sie nur den Trope "I'm strong because of that" bedient, den ich hasse. Femmes sind stark von sich aus, es ist nicht nötig eine Vergewaltigungsszene reinzupacken um sie NOCH stärker zu machen.

Diese Szene hat mich dazu gebracht dem Buch einen ganzen Stern abzuziehen. Geht einfach gar nicht. 

... wenn unsere geliebten Menschen sterben, lebt die Liebe in der Gegenwart weiter...

- Firekeeper's Daughter, 95%

a perfect mixture of real life events and impact with a fictionalized time, place, and community. the echoes of events in our world are omnipresent, but the story never felt like it “had” to match anything, or like it suffered from a need to attach to the present. 

this book had everything. good twists, a wonderful hero with her own demons and dilemmas, intricate and difficult family relations, friendship and community, and an articulation of that time of life where we try to find our purpose on earth. oh, and a thrilling crime-y plot.

I don't normally read YA but this book was being talked about so much that I decided to give it a read. 
I loved it so much I devoured the audio book in one day on a road trip. Cannot wait to read more from the author.
