I loved this!! Definitely one of my faves of the year so far. I really liked Daunis as a character and narrator. She's so geeky and so her view of the world is so scientific, which was enjoyable to read. But she also just felt like a real person. I loved learning about Ojibwe culture through her, especially their medicinal practices and omens. The mystery was also well-paced throughout with an exciting ending.
